So with a 4 link, is that like saying that when you go to corner you dont get any 'roll' outta the rear housing?
    It's got 40 spline axles. Everything is overkill Heavy Duty so it should hold up O.K.
    body roll will come 0nly from chassi and tire flex. The anti-roll bar will keep things purdy' rigid.

    I Basically what I'm asking is "Is a 4-link a good idea for a weekend strip car that sees mostly hard street/highway time?"
    Here's the link to the 4 link.
    I'm building a strip car that will see some street use. Sounds like your building a street car that will see some strip use. A four link will work, might want to use poly bushings instead of chromoly rod ends. I'm using a track locator because of the narrow rear end. If you have room a panhard bar would be less binding on the suspension.
