    Have any of you seen this setup yet?

    Other than the shock mounts, it looks like it should work.

    Looks like it would be pretty expensive.

    Actually your looking at approximately $1500 for a 4 link set up. I'm not sure if thats a good deal or not. Some of the guys that put 4 link on their cars could probably give you a better idea. It would probably work on our cars except you would need 2 passenger side lower spring/shock mounts for our staggered shock set up. Looks pretty slick. Gonna keep this one in mind for the Comet GT.

    Looks pretty slick. It would look good under your car but i plan on mini tubbing and it wouldn't work with it.

    Dennis you took the word out of my mouth. Slick is exactly the right word for that set up.
    Right now at work we're buiding a four link air bag set up (personal project of one of the fellas) to make a monte carlo a jumping, dancing weirdo mobile! The bags we're using have 10" of travel and two 1/2" ports in each bag so they will inflate and deflate incredibly fast. Very strange project if you ask me but kind of neat.
