at 230" and a double slip joint, you shouldn't have to much flex unless you have bind..... as far as the mtr mt area,, that is a place where most all end up cracking regardless....we have been double tubing that area for a small length and have had a little success in them making it through the year.. a 4 link weighs more and you have more tubing in the rear.. the 4 link will take away some of the flex as now your car will accept the rough track conditions better and the chassis will not have to flex to accommodate the bumps we could go on all day about the + and - of 4 link vs. rigid vs. slip joint etc.... I have built/driven most and I can tell you that if you are winning with one that is the one you are going to like regardless...
we always check the car when we unload it, after ever pass, and after it gets back to the shop,,,, nothing better than inspections and inspections....
