I installed new KYB quads in my '98 GT vert. I also put in Ford Racing rear upper control arms which helped my readend stability. The KYB quads are just $89.99 a pair from Brothers Performance: www.brothersperformance.com I put in Tokico front struts and rear shocks at the same time along with Steeda sport springs. BIG difference in handling. Good luck!

i agree with whoever said the lakewood traction bars i have them on my 95gt its a pretty easy swap and once u put them in u no longer need the quad shocks. i am surprised ur rims fit with them in general hmmm...........neways just get some good control arms

yea i havent tried my rims on the car yet. its on stands in my garage right now. I was loking at them and I dont think they will fit eighter.. Will the traction bars go in the place of the quads? will I have a problem fitting them in? I would like to eliminate them all together. But I am unsure of where exactly the traction bars go and if they will work with the stuff I have.. In the rear, kyb, agx 8 position adjustible gas shocks, upper and lower control arms, ford racing lowering springs, and all urithanne, energy suspension bushings.... where will the traction bars go?

there is 2 different sets on sumitracing.com one has a spot for the coil springs one does not. I dont know what ones to get.. i am returning the quad shocks... I know the traction bars are going to be more but hey if its well worth it..... LAK-21900 is the part number of the ones with the coil spring spot. LAK-20161 is the ones with out the coil spring spots..

quad shocks are useless when you have lowers because they hold the frame to the axle which was the job of the quads. with quads gone you can fit bigger wheels

they do u can only use one or the other if u already have aftermarket lower control arms then there is no need to buy traction bars cause they do the same thing
