Default Rear Quad shock removal

So by removing the quad shocks in the rear how does it affect the car other than making room for tires? do you need to do something to help compensate for losing the quad shocks or can you just pop em off and leave it like that? also i am figuring its pretty easy to remove them...anyone thats done it, am i right?

Control Arms....uppers and lowers... not ~too~ expensive...and are a pretty good starter upgrade for a better suspension...
