No reason to change the T/A's out for a 4-link for something mild. The T/A's can & have done exactly what your 'want' list stated.

If you want increased handling it usually involves lowering the center of gravity. I don't know of too many vehicles that handle good & are tall. Like anything, lowering can get excessive but it's not the standard. A mild amount of drop gets the center of gravity in a favorable spot & is not a compromise on the streets/roadways.

Suggestions would include:

Large front sway bar.

High quality and/or adjustable shocks.

Updated steering.

Rebuilt front end using Moog replacement parts.

Updated (current) alignment specs.
