[84LX89GT]

My old '84 LX had quad shocks and that thing could lay nice dark patches of even consistancy for a good distance.....my GT hops all over the damn place because the quads are gone and i'm afraid every time i launch it because even shifting into second causes horrible wheel hop. I stole the quads off of my 84 before i sold it. There is a VERY good reason why ford installed those on the mustangs in '84. Before then they all had horrendous wheelhop even with the factory traction bars.
The quads from my 84 fit on my 89 and i can say that other than reducing HORRIBLE wheel hop going straight they also help keep you rear end planted accelerating around a corner because they dampen the spring better and the differential is less likely to shift around underneath the car.
If you have to remove them there's not much you can do.....but with no other traction devices it's a big step backward.
