I have built 2 FFR's and have to say that they do a nice job for you. You can simply assemble the car and drive it. Or you can complicate the build and modify almost everything to your taste.
There is a huge 'cottage industry' around the FFR. Lots of specialty vendors to make the car nicer, more usable, more accurate.
Its a blank canvass, you get to be Leonardo de Vinci.
I am a fan of FFR and their products, there are companies that build more accurate bodies but dont have the same accuracy with the chassis.
The suspensions are as good as you make it, 4 link for drag racing, go with the 3-link for good handling, go with the IRS for better ride.

FFR gets my vote, but the D&D out of Canada is very similiar to the FFR in design.
Good luck with your research and welcome to the madness!
