Default 4 link suspension

I'm looking into getting front, rear suspension and brakes for my 67 fastback. I'm into the Pro-Touring thing. Would like to go with a 4 link rear suspension with a pan hard bar. For the front I'm looking at getting new upper and lower control arms, spindles, ect,,
Looking for some input here guys!
Thanks

I guess if you intend to run 10-12 seconds in the quarter mile it might be worth it, but that would quickly become a snowballer. How much money you got?
For street use, a new set of springs all around and maybe a traction device (if you have traction problems) would suffice.

Check this action out, for an air bag 4-link rear setup - http://www.gearwood.com/

I helped a fellow Mustang'er some months ago, when he was looking for just a setup, but it seemed no one else here could help him out - long before I got my own stang

Thanks for the help my fellow Mustang Brothers!
You know the more I look in to this the more I see the traditional leaf spring setup. I would say 98% of classic stangs have leaf springs and 2% have up graded. Maybe the difference between the leaf spring setup and the 4 link isn't that significant. although there is a cool factor here! Besides the links you guys gave me, I've only found 1 site that has a 4 link air ride system. With shocks( air ride ) and all the brackets it's $2000.00.
If any of you suspension guru's can get me prints, hell I'll build the system in my machine shop. Gotta be made for a 9" rear end. billet 6061-t6 would be cool! Mustang Forums own!
I'm about 75% leaning toward Globals wests stage 3 or 4 suspension kits. What do you guys think?
thanks for the help!
