basically solid axle cars either run leaf springs or something like a 4 link setup. the 4 links control the travel of the axle and the springs support the car. most hachi setups are unequal length due to the shape of the bottom of the car, so to have the more desireable equal length bars you have to creat a boxed area for the upper bars to mount/travel in.
that is pretty awesome.thanks for the info

Rear 4-link..It's a hardcore modification because it requires cutting in to the actual frame of the car, and requires welding as well. Not for the regular amateur to install since it's not a bolt on part per-se.

Bolt in modification for adjustabilty. Non-adjustable 4 links are stock.

an adjustable stock replacement is a bolt in affair, but if you want to go equal length 4-link it's a whole hell of a lot more work like he said.

He didn't say anything about equal length, Erin did.

that's basically the same thing this car has, it's just he had his custom made rather than buy the kit.
