Default TCI 4-link for 62-67 Nova ?'s

I am sure most of you are familiar with the TCI 4-lin for the early Nova. If not here is a link. http://www.totalcostinvolved.com/pro...cfm?ProdID=227

I am building a drag car that will double duty as a street/touring car on the off weekends. I have contemplated many different things but I keep coming back to the TCI kit. I was mainly going to buy the frame rails, drive shaft loop, tranny cross member, sway bar, axle brackets & frame mount(basically everything that is red in the picture above + sway bar). I am thinking of making my own bar links out of chromoly, adding some nice Heim joints and then get some nice adjustable coil-overs. This is where I keep getting a brain fart.

I hear all to often that 4-links aren't very pleasurable on the street(especially hard mounted with heim's). What I have been contemplating is using the TCI platform and making my own 3-link with their existing hardware. I don't mind cutting up the floor a bit to mount a center link but I do not want to remove the rear frame rails. There are many reasons for this that I don't want to get into here but they are NOT going to be removed/altered.

Here are my priorities. straight line > street civility > lateral

What do you guys think, 3-link or 4-link?
