Have you guys experienced any negative impacts from removing the quad-shocks? I'm going to try and squeeze a pair of 275/60/15s under the GT tomorrow and they are going to have to go. She'll be running wide and skinny draglites and will be for once a month driving and a occasional track day.

You will get wheel hop with them gone. You can always flip them around like I did. I'm running 275/40/17s with no problems.

Flip them around? Are you talking about reversing the way they are bolted on?

I have never had a problem with my quad shocks removed and I have always had my stock control arms. It might be because my big ass keeps the car from wheel hopping, just a guess.

I've got Hotchkis upper and lower control arms....do I need the quads?

With the Aftermarket Arms you should be fine. Just make sure that when you remove them, you also remove the brackets or you will have a hole in your tire.

275/60/15's and they are slammed right up against the tire.

i know mines an 04 but i had to flip mine for the 315's to go on... if you've got stock control arms it'll wrap and twist like a *****... flip them and see if it doesnt rub.. mine would rub in corners with them in stock position so i flipped them and now its ok.... stock tailpipes rub tho :(

Quads + stock control arms = ehh, ok
no quads + stock control arms = hippity hop like the **** easter bunny
quads + aftermarket LCA's = pointless to have quads
no quads + aftermarket LCA's = hookity hook like a hooker :)
