for those with trailing arms and/or toelinks
i know these are supposed to target and eliminate wheel hop, but not much has been said about how it changes the cars handling characteristics. those with this setup please fill me in . TIA!

I have toe links on my car because it was cheaper to do that than replace the worn factory bushings. To tell you the truth, I feel no harshness at all as compared to stock. I do not have the trailing links though, so I can't comment on those.

I've got both, and I don't remember my ride becoming harsh when I installed them...I think it's all going to depend on your dampers/spring rates. My ride now is definitely what most people would consider harsh, with 600lb front springs and 500 rear, but I think if you've got a mellower setup like 400 front 300 rear, the shocks wouldn't transfer much harshness from the heim joints. I think they'd absorb it.

Denny I am running both and did not notice any significant increase in ride harshness. Wheelhop still happens, but not as bad as it did before though. Also, when going through corners, the rear end feels a lot more stable and predictable than it did before.
