      TCI 4 Link Rear Suspension Questions

      I bought the suspension about 1 year ago. I sent the car to a suspension shop near by but they told me they could not install the kit due to to much drilling and welding involved with installing this kit. They are not familiar with this kit or any aftermarket kit so they were not willing to do the job. My question is, because I was told that this kit was a bolt on kit, is it a hard install? Does it take drilling and welding? Below is a link to the kit I bought. I have everything but the rear end and the disc brakes. Is this a good rear suspension kit? Thanks in advance guys.

      Looks like the kit is designed to bolt through the floor with a lot of small bolts. Doesn't seem like a huge problem if there are good layout instructions included. I'm personally not jet-hot about the diagonal track locator link for handling use, but I'd give it a shot...

      Thanks for the info. I was looking for a bolt on kit. Guess my understanding of what I was getting myself into wasnt up to par smh. It was supposed to be a job that even I (a novice) could do. Doesnt seem like a job for me. Hopefully I can find a shop to do the install and wont charge me for 12 hours at $95 per. Or i am screwed smh

      TCI 4 link install

      I installed mine in on a weeked. It very easy to install the instructions were good. There are some factory holes that help line it up properly. P.S. make sure you have good drill bits and some pare ones.

      Thanks for the reply Bad. I dont see the pics sir. But your reply just made me a little more confident. Mines didnt come with instructions. Can you send me a link to the instructions? Im a super novice so im unsure of doing it myself but hopefully a local shop can help me. 1 weekend of work? wow thats fast. How does the car ride now? Is it a good rear suspension kit?
