I am building a roadser right now. I opted for a TCI chassis and I am running adjustible Aldan eagle shocks on all 4 corners with Wilwood discs all around with polished calipers, drilled/slotted rotors. I am running IFS and never gave a straight axel one consideration because I have ridden in deuces with them and others with IFS which helped me make my selection. As far as bodies go I am using a Brookville body which I got a killer deal on. I've had fiberglass before and have decided to go steel this time. Good luck and do your research so you don't end up with saying "I wish I would have went a different way!"
