[QUOTE="blacksheep-1, post: 13177777, member: 33936"] In short..no. BTW one of the mistakes made is to install the aftermarket (heim jointed) UCA they have absolutely NO give whatsoever and only make the problems worse. The best approach for handling (not drag racing specifically) is to soak the stock UCA in a solvent to actually make them more compliant, then install "stiff" aftermarket lower arms. A common characteristic of the triangulated 4 link is something called "snap oversteer" Basically the rearend is so horribly bound up in the corner that as it tries to unbind itself (and seek center) the car "snaps" to center and the car's rearend steps out on you. Keep in mind a few rules, in order to keep the suspension working. When setting up the car the car should be on the flattest surface you can find, the car's ride height needs to be set, the (wheelbase) the same on both sides, the correct weight in the car (including driver) and the panhard bar needs to be parralel to the floor (along with the lower control arms). hopefully, (but not with the triangulated 4 link), the suspension should move through it's entire travel with little or no bind at all.
