It includes a uni-cradle, adjustable upper bars with R-joints, non-adjustable lower bars with R-joints, and all mounting brackets and hardware. The Ridetech bolt-on 4-link installs onto the OEM leaf spring mounts of your prized muscle car. No cutting or fabrication is required—just four small tabs to weld to the axle for your upper bars. The ride height of your car is typically lowered by approximately 2\". The ride quality is dramatically improved over stock. Instead of a wallowing, soft ride, you'll experience a crisp, controlled ride quality that will inspire more confidence for performance driving.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eThe clean-sheet design offers long upper link bars with revised mounting points for improved roll center, forward bite, and anti-squat characteristics. The rear bulkhead in these cars (the structure between the passenger compartment and the trunk) exhibits excellent strength, especially where the bulkhead ties into the floor pan at the transmission tunnel. Ridetech engineered a brace that bolts to both the bulkhead and the rear edge of the transmission tunnel while still allowing you to run a full back seat. Simple holes are drilled into the bulkhead without any welding of the unibody structure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eRear HQ Series Adjustable Coilovers\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Arial;\"\u003eThis coilover system is designed to provide the optimal ride quality and ease of installation for Ridetech bolt-on 4-link systems.
