Are you still planning on swapping out the rear suspension (besides changing the leafs)? I went through this debate recently, and my choices were between something like the Heidts, a weld in 4 bar kit, and the g-link from TCP. My first inclination was to find a kit that give the early mustang room for some more tire, and mini-tub the car. I lost a lot of steam on that idea since I'm not one for hacking up and welding new tubs into a vehicle (still need to work on my sheet metal skills). The other thing that really got into my head was having the ability to put the car back to original if I ever lost my nerve. The last part of the equation was something that would benefit me on the track. I tend to autocross the car quite a bit, and really wanted something that would allow me to have all the adjustment I would need for the different track conditions/locations. In the end, I picked up the G-link from TCP. They have all sorts of options for the kit to fit your needs... for example I ended up getting the offset lower links, which gives about another 1-1.5" of clearance for more rear tire. The only welding you would need to do is a couple of brackets to hold the cradle in place, and two upper control arm locations on the rear axle.
The car definitely plants itself much better into and out of the corners - compared to the 5-leaf suspension that was in there before. The adjustable links allow the rear axle to be centered under the car (in case you have some chassis variances). It also seems to have much better traction from a dig when the green flag drops. Couldn't be happier with this kit thus far...
