I don't think so unless you are planning on backhalfing the car. I'm working on building my own 4 link, but I'm unsure how to make the upper bar mounts strong. I'm thinking about welding in sleves and bolting in the upper mounts and making them big. Or possibly building a bar that would weld in across the rear of the car and having the mounts come through the body.

If you find anything post it up

IMO it is, I want to try something different. I don't have a drag car, it never will be, its a 100% street car and I like the way mustangs and other factory 4 link cars feel vs the TA cars. Plus then I get more room for tucked up true duals, don't have to get a TA relocation bar, and I'm sure theres more. And if I don't care for the 4 link when its all said and done I can still put a TA back on and 99% of people wouldn't ever know that my car had a 4 link in it

At the end of the day its still my car, not yours
