Not sure if 3" is too low for your 69 (I had a 68) so I'd ask GW about that.

My personal opinion and I hope I dont offend Doug at Global West but if your road racing the swivel perches will induce roll and when hitting corners at high speeds you want the car as flat as possible. A Fays 2 watts link will keep your leafs from binding,
On the other hand, if you intend to opt for more auto cross the swivels are a great idea because the turns are slower and tighter and the swivels will help turn you in the corners.
As far as the leafs go, I've tried 3 different leaf spring manufacturers and the Global West worked the best.
