Default 4-Link Rear Suspension System

Hey guys and gals, I have a question for those in the know!

I am thinking about running a 4-Link Rear Suspension System instead of the leaf springs that came on my 65 Coupe. It'll be a 450hp DD with occasional trips to the drag strip and track.

Is this a good upgrade?
What issues do I need to be concerned with?
Is there another setup you'd recommend instead?
Thx
Jim

A 4 link there is a few bolt in kits like http://www.heidts.com/boltin_rear_4_...e_package.html this can be bolt in if you buy the housing i believe http://totalcontrolproducts.com/gBar.html weld in would be like http://www.martzchassis.net/our-products Now if you want a 3 link set up which is like a 3rd/4th f body with a torque arm http://www.totalcostinvolved.com/pdf..._Coyote_A1.pdf and http://www.rrs-online.com/3linkproducts.php

IMO its overkill for your stated use and power level.
