Thanks for the replies. My goal is to have a solid daily driver that handles pretty well, straightline that is pretty good. I know there is really no way to have both 100% but I just want improve the ride.

I might go to the treack from time to time. I was thinking of getting shocks/struts, upper lowers, strut tower brace, full length subframes and springs with cc's.

Just trying to research and find a way to do all of this and find a setup that wont break the bank.

Its nice to have a good all around car. Ebay can be your friend on the $ saving portion. Ask alot of questions before you go and buy something.

Good luck!!

go with the bilsteins! also, be sure to check out http://www.corner-carvers.com/ . it'll take them a week to accept you and even then they will "flame" you if you ask any questions (they can be pricks) but those guys really know what they're talking about. absolutely the best info you can get for making your mustang handle well. here's a quick summary though:
-bilsteins
-fomoco, H&R, or Maximum Motorsport springs
-adjustable perch lower control arms (maximum motorsports or Pro3i)
-stock or FRPP replacement uppers
-torque arm/panhard bar (MM)
-tube k-member, a-arms, coilover kit for the bilsteins (MM)

basically, get the maximum motorsports catalog and buy one of everything.

or...go the "budget" route like me and get tokico hp struts/shocks, frpp "C" springs, and Pro3i LCAs.
