Most people scrap the quads and buy aftermarket control arms for the rear end.

Thats what im doing in the spring, already ordered them.

I wouldnt bother replacing them

I took them off because they were rubbing my rear shocks over bumps and what not, I think it had to do my car being to low, but I'm not sure? I didn't really notice a difference, but I have after-market upper and lower control arms..

These are the ones my car had on them

Relatively cheap to replace, if you do decide you want them.
