I am looking into the quadra link right now. First of all it isnt a bolt in kit. It requires a LOT of cutting and welding. Second when you consider you dont need springs or shocks with the DSE (comes with) it sort of brings the price back down a little. I was going to go with composite rear leafs, but I think the quadra is the way to go for the price range.
I do not think you need the tubs or narrowed tank for the Quadra link. I *think* it uses the rear frame rails in the stock location. I think you need to move the frame rails on with the tub kit when you use leaf style springs to get the widths you want on the wheels. The quadra link has the lower contol arms going to the rear at an angle so you gain a little more room for wider tires without moving the rails.
I have asked DSE to send a copy of the instructions so I know what I would be getting into before I purchase. I will be doing a lot of cutting and welding already on the back half of my car so a little more work for something like this is not an issue for me. From the video on the DSE site of the blue second gen makes me think the product is good enough for me. I dont plan on going to the track with the car too often, mostly street use so for the money vs. use I dont think other products are worth the cost.
