        I voted tubs too. Why do the cage until you need it.

            No need for medication or rehab. I think it all has to be done

              Rehab means you might have the opportunity to do it longer without giving up the disfunctionality!

              It is a tough call Boob(y).
              I PERSONALLY would probably do the mini tubs first.
              The 10 point cage really isn't necessary for a true dual purpose car like yours.
              The 4-link is a paradox (for me) - since it is a triangulated 4-link it MIGHT not hook as good but it clearly is going to carve better. So the question is - do we really want you in a car that handles better in the twisties with a bigger motor and pretty calipers?

                    if we mini tub
                    i would just go to frame rails +- room for a 12" wide tire

                    its all for The Look!

                    as is, the 56 leaves good enough for the times I am turning on MT Street

                    A negative is, if Cstmwgn and I go to larger drag radial (probably not) a trailer would be necessary for Drag Week.

                      Mini tubs....Like everyone else, why put a cage in until you actually need it

                        I voted mini tubs as well, but if you go back to rehab say hi to Tiger woods for me. :D

                        When you say trailer for DW you mean only to get you to and from the first/last track right.

                          I took it as a trailer to carry the bigger wheel/tire combo....hope I'm right

                            Me too. Can't see that 56 on a trailer unless it's broken.

                              Weigh the amount of work involved. Four link compared to moving leaf springs, mabe put a simple ladder link set up and mini tub. Your car would have a whole new attitude with wider tires not to mention better hook with bigger motor. Dont forget the trailer hitch 8)
