Bolt in 4-link or mono leaf springs

Thanks, I have a lot to mull over between a four link or mono leaf. But the true deciding factor is price and with the set backs I’ve had with this car this last year is probably why I’ll go the cheapest route and hopefully go four link at a later date.

I think you will spend substantial amount less time messing with a true caltrac setup than messing with a 4 link. Although the 4 link is the ultimate in adjustability, theyre a pain in the *** to get dialed in. And if you put a 4 link in with no anti roll bar, they become much more challenging to handle. Just my opinion and what I have gone through. My car being a very old 4 link car, leaves a lot higher than you would want a 4 link car to leave. But due to my lack of adjustability since the suspension is so old with not many holes for adjustment and big space between the holes, I just found something that I know I can make work and stuck with it.

My opinion, one of the best working suspensions we have in our crew is the split mono leaf with a ladder bar and housing floater. My dad and close friend both run them in their heavy roadrunners with a lot of torque and over 900 HP. They have the least amount of traction issues out of any of us. The caltrac setups we have work great as they are simplistic but having a good double adjustable shock is CRUCIAL to making them work their best. It took me and my close friend many of years of fine tuning his caltrac to finally get it to the point where the car doesn't need a big huge wheelstand to stay hooked up and run fast. But now that we have a good handle on it, it works great. With today's technology and all the information out there on the internet, whatever decision you make, you will be able to make it work.
