Default 4 link vs ladder bar on 93' S10?

Hello, I am wondering what was a better setup between the two? This truck should go mid 9's on spray. 4links r a little more pricey than the ladder bars. Since we r on the topic of suspension, with my intentions for the truck, (strictly drag use) what coilovers would u all reccomend for the best possible track traction possible. I know nothing about suspnsion, so any help will be appreciated. I just know its hard to make an s10 with 650rwhp stick to the ground. BTW, I am running a powerglide and 30inch tires. Hope this helps!

Since the S10 is harder to hook, with the heavy front end weight bias, I would opt for the 4 link as it has much better adjustability.

With ladder bars, you only get about 6 choices.

With 4 link you get about 36 choices (assuming each link has 6 positions)
You can also add individual preload to each bar to help the torque reaction.

Keep in mind, it is also much harder to adjust, & you will have to study up on the dynamics & tuning of a 4 link to make it work to its full potential.
