I knew Ridetech changed their 4-link set up, but I didn't realize how extensive the changes were. Wow. Here's a photo of the previous version we installed on my son's '79 Y84 project...nothing attaches to the frame rails. We're still a couple months away from first start up. I can't wait to see how this bolt-on system compares to the weld in DSE system I used on my '70 Formula. If it's anywhere close, we'll be thrilled.

Gator67,
I can't compare it to the DSE system like you can, but I have a feeling it will be 75% to 80% of the DSE system. The comparison I have is to the stock setup. It is a difference of night and day. It really handles well with the solid mounts Race car stuff) and no rubber mounts in the kit at all. My mechanic and I seem to feel the back end is making the front end feel a little loose now as opposed to the original setup. Therefore, to get the loose feeling gone we are going to see if a WS6 steering box will fit. Have to check the clearance with the new fans before we do anything. If my memory is right the original steering box is the '73 T/A is three full turns lock to lock as opposed to the 2.5 turns lock to lock on the WS6 steering box. This should get the quick response feel back.
