    form vs function

     



    I work in a late model race shop part time, we use parallel 4 link settups on our cars because it allows near-infinite adjustment for bite on accelaration and in corners. We use a J bar for side to side stability. I think if your just cruising or on the strip, the trianguleted setup would be cleaner under the car, But your adjustment woould be limited. I hope this helps, and I hope Im correct, there ar3e lots of people who know more than me. Have fun

    well all most i have trianguleted set up i made so i have many holes to move bars to on frame and rear end and upper bars are ajustable for pin angle . to so you can get that if you want it on a good day on the street it pulls air under the front wheels .i am thinking your taking a track bar .J bar ? that not a good deal on the street you want the rear end to hold track thru center line of were the frame is going in a turn .you do not get a firm feel going in a turn with just a track rod .over streer big time.i almost lost a car with one . great for track they suck on the street panhard way better just my two bits
