Anyone have pricing for DSE 4 link ?

[camcojb]

Another question on the exhaust location. You said it was tight but do you need the tail pipes custom made or stock location is fine.. Just wondering because I have 3" tailpipes and really don't want to change them

I wouldn't be surprised to see that they had to be moved slightly at the rear where they go past the rear end. If a guy bought one of the kits like from Stainless Works or Torque Tech that is mandrel bent for the car but not assembled, there's probably enough wiggle-room to get it through with no mods. But if you installed and welded up the exhaust on a car without the 4 link you would be lucky if they just happened to clear with it. In other words, you installed the system with lots of room back there, now there's less. You would have moved the pipes a little differently if it would have had the 4 link in there to begin with.

It's a bit late for me to have any chance of having the car at SEMA. I may swap over later.

Is this setup is the same to the el mule have?

Very close. They did the Mule install at DSE. DSE then made some changes to make it less obtrusive on the rear seat for the production version.

Cool,I just was looking at the mule rear end.

Can you use it on a road corse?

Can you use it on a road corse?

Absolutely. It is a handling suspension, not specifically for drag racing.

Okay

[olds87]

Do you have to cut some stuff on the rear to order to fit right?

You have to remove the stock spring pads on the rear. You can also mini-tub the car at that time but it is not required. You'll be welding on the new upper/lower/shock brackets, and the front mounts for the upper bars. The front lower bars hook to the stock front spring area of the car. There is also an upper crossmember that gets welded in for the shocks and brackets. It does require some fabricating but all the pieces and instructions are there. You will also need to purchase shocks/springs.

Can you run a swaybar on the rear like the mule to stiffen up the suspension?

[camcojb]

It comes with a panhard bar for lateral movement. You don't have to use a standard sway bar with this system. However the Mule has one it appears.

okay. Thanks for talking with me. Take care.

I will be very interested to see how the exhaust fits in there. I had no room over the top when I finished my 4bar setup. Of course, my car is fully tubbed and very low. It was the panhard bar that gave me the most trouble.

It can be done, but is tight. Here's the Mule with almost the same system; hard to see but it fit in there somehow.

Thats good to know about the exhaust. I do have the mandrel bent 3" pipes, but made sure that they didn't weld them on....
That will make a nice winter project

[VenturaII]

I remember seeing in Popular Hot Rodding how they notched each side of the fuel tank to help get the exhaust through on the Mule.

[Damn True]

Is it just the photo or does the panhard look a bit undersupported?

[Kenny]

I also have a question, is it just the picture or are the upper arms only about half the length of the lowers? I understand sometimes compromise is a fact of life, but to call it a road race system, just doesn't pass the sniff test..... It does make for a pretty install though! Please educate me if I'm off.
