Default 4-Link Suspension Guy (need info)

I'm putting my car back together and starting to order all my stuff next week. Trans, rear end and suspension stuff. I've thought about going with a street/strip 4 link suspension system. I'm wanting to know if anyone has one on a 4th gen and if you have some pictures to share. Also do you drive yours on the street and if you left your LCA's and torque arm on the car.

If anyone has any info on this I'd appreciate it.

The cars going to be a street/strip car. I've got a 650hp (motor only) 454 BBC and a little over 500 ft lbs of torque so I want to get the best suspension setup I can. If just changing out the stock stuff will work I'll do it. But, I was kinda interested in the options I'd hae with a 4-link.

A 4 link is going to be alot of money compared with what you can buy to bolt on your car. Also a REAL 4 link isnt very streetable do to noise in the car. The street friendly 4 links dont work.

Get a good torque arm(Myself or BMR) and a good set of LCAs. Get some aftermarket shocks and you will be ready to go.

Thanks for the replys. If its not very streetable and noisy I don't want to go that route. Madman I may be getting in touch with you about some suspension parts.

4-Links are only good for slammed show trucks and race cars. Neither of which are the most streetable of things.
