depends on what wheel your running. I have seen cars that didnt need the quad shock removed, mine just happened to be one that needed it gone

if u hve issues with the quad shocks and have to take them off from what i understand its ok to drive without them for a bit but can fixed buy buying some upper/lower control arms all it really helps is wheel hop i believe
