Default Replacing all suspension

I’m picking up a 67 RS tomorrow. It’s a really straight car with perfect panel gaps everywhere and no rust. The suspension is shot(tires rub in rear on corners and front feels bouncy). I’m going to just replace everything front and back and do disc brakes front/rear while I’m at it. I want it to corner great. I’ve been looking around but am new to 1st gens and want to know what’s everyone’s opinion on the best front/rear setup to make it handle the best. I found CPP pro touring 4 kits but is there any total kits that have multi link or anything different that I don’t know about yet that’s better. Budget would be $5k or less but I know that goes out the window sometimes.

Well, I got the car. I bought full ridetech suspension with true turn and 4 link rear front/rear sways and 100lbs up on the springs and ds mini tubs. I have the front suspension in and the mini tubs done. I think I’m going to buy a new rear end instead of hacking up the stock one and then needing a new one in a few months when I decide to do an LS swap.

I’m looking at a 9” from quick performance. What options should I get to make it hold up to a 500-600 hp engine.

I got a LSD and wheel shafts from Quick Performance for my 8.2" axle. I called Quick Performance and they were quite helpfull in selecting the parts I needed. You may double check then with other people advices but I would start with calling them.
As for my suspension, I got polyurethane kit from Energy Suspension. Not installed yet...

I ordered a new 9” with all the goodies yesterday from there. It’s about a month out though.
