Default Control arms...

I bought some Grenatelli Motorsports Adjustable Lower Control Arms
Iam wondering if i need to keep the quad shock now that i have the lowers?
I know it has probably been asked a million times but the search didnt work....

Thanks!

Well to my knowledge you don't "need" the quads to begin with, they just help with wheel hop. I think with the lowers you will be fine without them, but I would keep them in if you don't need to take them out. Just my 2 cents.

i kept mine on when i had uppers and lowers. it didn't hurt anything but i also didn't have big enough tires to have to take them off. if i did they would have been thrown the garbage. i would just leave them on there not hurting anything
