What are the differences between the AME tri 4 bar and their 3 link set up(other than one has 4 bars and one has 3)? Which gives better handling for a street car? By looking at the two, it looks like with the 3 link, the floor needs to be cut out more. What other differences are there?

You've overlooked another Art Morrison offering: The 4bar.

Yes, you'll need a Panhard, but the 4bar is usually very easy to package and...unlike a 4link...will never bind in a street application.

When installing the 4link, try to angle the links upward from the rear. If the links are at an angle with a tangent (slope) equal to the center of gravity height divided by the wheelbase, you'll have 100% anti-squat.
