    I'm concerned with "the look" as much as driveablity, but you can have both. If its a hi-tech style car and/or if it's got fenders to hide the ugly, IFS is ok, but if it's a traditional style car or a fenderless car I wouldn't consider anything but a solid axle.

    FWIW I drive mine everywhere (and I do mean everywhere!) with a 4" dropped axle here in PA, with potholes big enough to lose a kid in... no problems.
