Default 4link vs ladder bar on s10

Help, no one seems to kno this answer:


Hello, I am wondering what was a better setup between the two? This truck should go mid 9's on spray. 4links r a little more pricey than the ladder bars. Since we r on the topic of suspension, with my intentions for the truck, (strictly drag use) what coilovers would u all reccomend for the best possible track traction possible. I know nothing about suspnsion, so any help will be appreciated. I just know its hard to make an s10 with 650rwhp stick to the ground. BTW, I am running a powerglide and 30inch tires. Hope this helps!

IF I was building a track only car/truck and 9's or less....I would go with a 4-link and QA1 DA coil-overs.

4 link if $ and rules allow every time no debating it. Shocks, spend as much as you can afford... You really can't have too good of a shock.
