Another suspension thread: IFS and 4-link questions

We have pretty much narrowed down our our 51' in the chassis dept to an IFS and 4-link rear coilover setup. Prevailing opinions have led us down the road of spending a few more dollars over the basic MustangII front parts and rear leaf spring kit, especially given we are gonna have 345hp, 380 ft out of a 6.0 LQ9 hitting the ground.

Were sticking with the original frame and i would like the least amount of alteration to it as possible.

1. We have narrowed our choices down to TCI Coil-over IFS and coil-over 4 link rear or NO LIMIT Road Glide IFS coil-over and Fat-bar 4 link rear coilover. Any general opinion on pros/cons to either? Adjustablility?

2. How low can we get with a 4 link rear without altering/notching the frame?

3. I see 4 links setup inside and outside the frame....some bolt in and some weld in. Any better than the rest?

4. Have we overlooked a better* choice for suspension kits? (BETTER = quality parts, geometry/fit, ease of instillation, adjustability)
