4 Link
We have both a coil over rear and a coil over front on the V8 car.
the rear is a 4 link plus a panhard rod, the front is a completely fabricated crossmember using a modified mustang rack Wilwood pro spindles and 4130 tubular a arms.
nothing that we have is off the shelf we fabricated everything, we also fabricated Series 6's 4 link rear.

4 link
I wouldn't be able to compare it to an Alpine having never had or driven one.
as to the Tiger we had its night and day steers easy hooks up well trackes straight, have it set up pretty stiff (my choice) not to nice on the rough poop but thats the trade off.
The links are parallel by the way

I'll confirm that I have installed Procraft's 4 link with coil overs in my project car. Be a while before this gets on the road. His work is beautiful and if you follow his simple instructions, it goes together easily. If you decide to improvise, it will take a while....... Then you do it his way. Falls right into place.
As I do mostly street and occasionally hammer it in corners and an occasional track day at near by PIR, I thought this might be an interesting way to go and I wanted something different.
As the chassis I bought had no brakes, Procraft also supplied the Wilwood front discs and 4 piston calipers. I have a link to Webshots if anyone is interested. I'll point out that my project chassis was exactly what I wanted. Already had the V6 mods done as well and stripped paint and fixed floors.

Try this. I also have pictures of the steps there. If you have a problem opening it, pm me with your direct e-mail.
As far as the coil overs, I have to look up my receipts. Procraft recommended QA1's but I forget which. Will check. He uses coil overs up front. I went with QA1 shocks. I guess I can convert later, maybe.
