Default 69 Coupe Mustang 2 IFS or Not.

I am restoring a 69 Coupe. I am planning on upgrading my front end while I have it all torn down. I am not sure if I should convert it to the Mustang 2 IFS or Do the Rack and pinion - Disk Brake upgrade. They both cost about the same amount but the IFS needs welded and the other is bolt in. I am looking for pros and cons of both systems. I would like to hear from people that have done either one or both. Also Post some pics of them. I have heard the the IFS Drive a lot nicer but there are not any around that I can drive to see that first hand. I do know that I liked the way my Mustang 2 handled 20 years ago and have only driven 2 cars I likes more. One was my Fox Mustang which was not really more it was just about the same. and the other is my wife's Acura Legend that I like a lot more.

I'm not a fan of a mustang 2 kit in anything some cars they make it handle worse.I would go with coil overs like tcp only way i would cut up my car would be to use http://www.gmachinechassis.com/ his bare frame is about 3500 a roller close to 10 grand.But if you want something cheaper i would look at 64-70 Mustang
