I just had a Ford 9" rearend rebuilt and I plan on pulling the stock rearend out of my 83 Capri and installing this one, I don't want to go back to a factory type suspension. I will be running a Slightly Warmed over 460BBF with a built C-6 tranny and 4:10 gears. I was thinking of going with a 4 link type suspension. The car will be set-up for some street but mainly track duty. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Id stick with (and am sticking with) a stock style setup. More than adequate for some fast cars. Too much headache and money to go four link when what you have works. Just get some good adjustable uca's and lca's. If you wanna get more exotic, install coilovers and a anti-roll bar
 
buy a team z rear suspension kit and be done wiht it. have either dave or somebody else who is qualified to set it up and dont worry about it again, adj shocks and struts from then on
 
Stick w/ a stock style suspension. No need to go to a four-link when guys are in the 7's on a stock style suspension. Maybe go the mini-tub route if need be.
 
Ill try and get some pics up of my mintubs with the new coilovers and all that good stuff in the next few weeks. Of course I took the easy way out and paid the pros to do it:redface:
