quad shock replacement necc? - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

jeffro · 04-21-2013, 03:23 AM

I am considering doing te H&R SS and bilsteins. Can I just get away with front and rear shocks or do I need to get the quad shocks at the same time? it's an extra $200 for them.
I hear some people running no quad shock.

I think everyone takes them off when they install lower control arms.

for that much money Id double it, get all new control arms back there and ditch the quad shocks

jeffro · 04-21-2013, 03:18 PM

can I just keep running the factory one with the aftermarket springs/shocks? until I can save for lca's?

DSG2003Mach1 · 04-21-2013, 04:58 PM

Yes you can, I don't know of any aftermarket upgrades or anything

Don't the quad shocks eliminate wheel hop?

Just keep your quads and if your changing springs for handling reasons you may want to reconsider your choice.
