On a 89 gt what are the quad shocks for. Does it hurt leaving them in for drags or can i remove then and still use as daily driver?????

You can remove them and still drive every day. However you can also just reverse them so that the small, rod end, is up top. I have a 91 GT with BFG 295/50/R15 rear tires, and it still retains the quad shocks!

what do they do to begin with??

Help keep the rear from twisting would be my guess. V8 cars are the only ones with'em.

Damper shocks

So they can be remove with no drivability effects.. Cool... :clap

You shouldnt remove them unless you have installed aftermarket control arms. Even then it doesnt hurt to leave them on. I leave them on with my Southside lift bars.

When you remove them on stock arms it tends to swing for no reason.

IMO Keep em on until you have control arms and tires that need that room.

Damper shocks

what effect would it have on the car if they are going out?

the only use i know of having them is if u dump the clutch burnouts etc u dont get wheel hop .. so by removing them u might have wheel hop when doing stupid stuff otherwise i wouldnt worry driving sensibly without them u wont even know there gone

No wheel hop here, I have solid lower control arms and NO QUAD SHOCKS. no problems on or off the tracks.

Careful!!!

i wouldn't go crazy yet, you may not get driveability issues but over time the power put to those rubber bushings in the upper control arms will rip and the car will hop all the time, mostly when downshifting, i have this problem right now and it's really annoying.
