Hi
I need some advice on which rear suspension is better on drag racing car, 600 to 700hp on motor + 200hp shot, car weigth 2500lbs, 10.5w tires.
Ladder bar? four link? why?
Race Rules permits frames alteration or replacement.
Thank's in advace.

4 link will give more adjustments. If the rules allow them that is what I would go with.

4-link... with the 10.5 tire you could use the added
adjust ability to soften the hit

i agree.something you may want to look at is the ultralink rearsuspension built by hodge motorsports.this fits under a stock floorpan,has the adjustabilty of a fourlink but you don`t need a tracklocator or panhard bar.also since the lowerlink assembly is one piece,you don`t need an antiroll bar.
