Hi I'm about to buy a 4 link setup for my ute from mcdonld bros racing and just wondering if you guys know any good places in Sydney I can get it installed? I have a good mate that is a great welder but he takes to long to do things so any help would be great thanks

Why not use a sunny rear suspension or early 200sx or similar?
Save money on the parts then spend it on the fabricator.
Try someone like Wardy in WAGGA WAGGA he knows his stuff

D, not that "Wardy" doesn't do great work, But think you may have meant "Wards". He works out of Windsor [Sydney] from memory.

Hi bevo , how much grunt do you expect to put through the 4 link ? My concern is the McDonald bros kits are a bit heavy for the 4 cyl application . I have used rear arms out of fwd celicas to good effect on IPRA cars , and they have plastic lined spherical joints in them which are ADR legal . You may also have to strengthen the top shock mounts to handle the coilovers

Wards::: the reason for the 4 link I'm thinking of cuz my ute will have 350+ hp will only be for the drag strip so I wanted it strong enough to handle the power and then in the future maybe more seeing how my engine setup goes. So what would u suggest? What would u charge for this to cheers

The utes are about 800 to 900 kgs so it's not like you are trying to move 1500 kgs as you would with a large HQ or XY , because of this advantage you can get away lighter components and keep them alive, if you want to use the McDonald bits it will be cheaper to buy their "kit" to get all the hardware but then it will take the fabricator longer to adapt it to your application , so from a cost point of view it's 50/50 which way you go . There will be a fair bit of fab work to be done on your chassis anyway because they are built so light you just about have to put a rear chassis clip in it anyway . So there is a few hours of labour there + materials , you would have to budget for at least 1.5 to 2k to do a nice job
