The quad-shocks job is to prevent wheel hop. I have always heard of people chucking the quads when they go with aftermarket suspension setups.

I would say, remove them from the car, and if you don't get wheel hop, your good to go. If you do get wheel hop, put them back on.

Go for it man. Once you start upgrading the suspension the quadshocks pretty much become worthless.
