The quad shocks are a band-aid and a bad one at that. I installed quads on my 82 only to take them off and re-install the slapper bars. My car din't wheelhop until I put the 8.8 and quads in, I put my slappers back on and ditched the quads and I had less hop. I had a set of subframes welded in and I have no more wheel hop.

Pretty much as soon as you upgrade your control arms the quads become unneccessary, they pretty much compensate for the oval bushings in the lower control arms of the 83 and newer cars and thats about it.
