THIS CAR HAS A HISTORY AFTER IT WAS BUILT IN THE EARLY 90'S AS A FULL DRAG CAR WITH LEAF SPRINGS AND A 496 BIGBLOCK WE SOLD THE CAR AND FOUND IT IN A FEILD ALMOST 10 YEARS LATER, FINDING IT WE DECIDED TO REPURCHASE THE CAR AND REBUILD IT FROM THE FRAME UP....THIS IS THE PRODUCT OF YEARS, TEARS AND ONE OF THE FASTEST STREET CARS IN KANSAS.

the chassis consists of a recessed front cross member to move the engine back 4 inches, boxed in frame past the firewall, the rear structure was cut out to make way for new narrowed frame rails that house competition engineering 12 way adjustables, that hold on to a comp engineering fabbed housing with a 4 link.

Yeah my car is a 4-link. It has a chassis engineering top gun anti-roll bar in it slightly preloaded on the passenger side. It works great. I have used others and had them bend or twist. Has strange coilovers but I don't remember the spring rates.
