I think this one with 161 replies should be enough reading.

FWIW the mustang guys are converting their four links to torque arms like ours.
Torque arm suspensions have their advantages.

The G-Force setup is a much more involved and expensive kit than the Pete Z bars they seem to be modeled after. You can learn alot from the thread posted by 9000th01ss and you can check out this thread, particularly posts #52 & #54 by Ed Wright about the Pete Z bars..
https://ls1tech.com/forums/drag-raci...arm-and60.html

I also happen to have a set of Pete Z bars for sale right now in the FS section
