Late Mustang rear 'Quad Shocks" ?

[impstocker]

Ok, helping my brother we are building a 1996 Mustang for Stock Eliminator..V6 car. Got a 8.8 rear to replace the 7.5 stock rear. Installing a complete Moser Spool, Axle, C-Clip Elim..kit. Will also be using aftermarket upper, lower control arms with drag shocks. Keep the stock V6 spring..anyway, being a Chevy guy

what are the Quad Shocks...? Do we need them for a drag car..? Does anybody use them..thanks for all info.

They are suppose to overcome axle wind up ..I'm sure you could come up with something better. They did come with the car's original suspension so better get a ruling, before removing them
BTW, you now have a 97 or 98 car ..96 is not in the book. ;-)

Quad shocks are there to help rear axle stability while using the flimsy factory upper and lower control arms. If your going with aftermarket pieces in the rear then they are no longer a necessity. As stated- check with the rule makers but i have never heard of anyone mandating their use.
