4-link or ladder bar?
Hey everyone,
I'm going to be tearing into the rear of my camaro once things warm up for spring, and I'm still undecided as to whether I'll go with a 4-link or a ladderbar setup. I plan to do a mini-tub and pull out the factory leafs and put in a Strange 35spline 9". I figure the car will see more street use than strip use, so my question pertains more to street-ability than to hookup. My main concerns are body roll, binding, harshness, and other things like that. So, if any of you guys have any personal experience with a street car with either of these suspensions, I'd really appreciate any first hand wisdom that you can pass on to a newbie. Thanks alot in advance!

Also, if you look near the top of the page you'll see a link to the search function. If you type in four link you'll find a couple more.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Building a 70 Z-28 pro street and I'm going 4 link with wishbone track locator, anti-roll bar and externally adjustable strange coil overs. Only for driving to car shows, To the track occasionally and to blow off some steam after a long day. Not worried about ride. Looking for loud, rough ridin', teeth rattlin' speed. Ladder bar with poly bushed rod ends would probably be more streetable.
