4 links are for drag oriented cars. A 3 link would work better for a roadcourse car because it allows the rear axle to roll independently from the chassis. A 4 link would bind in corners, but it works really well going strait. Why are you considering a 4 link? A factory type setup with a tourque arm, LCAs and PHB can be made to handle quite well, and has reached 8s on the 1/4 mile.

You don't need to convert the suspension to a 3 or 4 link to get traction. Talk to Ryan over at UMI...

a triangulated 4-link is a 4-link. Parallel 4links require a rear locating device such as a panhard or a watts link. Triangulated 4links are built with the upper bars at an angle, keeping the rear end from wandering.

Its alot easier and just as effective to just get some parts from UMI.
