Doberman,

If you have not done so yet, get a copy of the Factory Five product brochure: https://factoryfiveparts.com/orderform/info.html

The 4 link is the standard rear suspension with the F5R kit, then the first upgrade is the 3 link (standard on the F5R spec race version). Next, and the ultimate upgrade is the IRS (independent rear suspension) In some cases (like on a race course) the IRS is not necessarily better handeling than the 3 link, which does a very nice job, but it (the IRS) is overall a much better ride and overall probably a better handeling option on a wider variety of road surfaces than the other options. I believe most people prefer the IRS for overall ride quality especially with the light weight of these cars and their rather stiff sport suspension.
