Do I really need my quad shocks?

Stang_Crazy · 03-22-2002, 10:54 PM

I got my tires mounted and balanced today(93 Cobra wheels, 245's). Came back and tried a test fit with the back wheels. The ony spot that rubs the tire is the quad shock. I haven't tried flipping it yet, I'll try that tomorrow. If that doesn't work, could I just remove my quad shocks?? Will I still pass inspection?? What problems might I run into without quad shocks?

I would look into spacers but they are illegal in the great state of PA

so I have to find another way to make these wheels fit.

I'm pretty sure you can just eliminate the quad shocks altogether. The problem is wheel hop. They are there to eliminate (or reduce) wheel hop. I'd try flipping them before removing them.
