A real long ladder bar in a short wheelbase car might "work" OK. But it could make for a packaging nightmare in a low slung car, or a car where a tall driver needing more leg room can't get it because the bars front mounting brackets/frame kick-up are sitting right up behind his ass.

And not all ladder bar makers use the exact same method for determining their "advertised" bar length. This is because some measure the bar length it's self (front to rear rod-end C/L's), and some measure from rear housing C/L to the front rod-end C/L. So if someone is worried about bar length, it's always a good idea to call first before ordering a set & find out exactly how long any given ladder bar maker's bars might be.

4-links are great, but you can also go pretty damn fast with a ladder bar too. However real fast ladder bar cars really do need a real good double adjustable drag shock to get the most out of the car though.

Fully agree, I have noticed whenever ladderbars are brought up most usually respond why not go fourlink. The ladderbars still work and I think a good double adjustable lb is a good place for the average guy with fairly simple settings but still adjustable where a fourlink can get most people way out in left field (myself included). I believe in the kiss theory keep it simple stupid!
