It's impossible to answer that question without knowing your plans for the car. Are you going to drag race...street/strip duty? Or are you wanting a nice handling auto-crosser?

You have to figure out what you are building first and then go from there.

And, Steeda... great company for Mustang stuff.

Depends on what you have already.... springs, performance struts and shocks, after marktet upper and lower rear control arms, camber caster plates, some good rubber, strut tower brace, new front sway bar bushings... that should do it on any fox body, regaurless of track/street. From what I have heard, Steeda makes a good 5-link. Other than, no one said anything good. Maximum Motorsports, or Griggs FTW!

I woul dstart off with some H&R springs with Tokica shocks/struts, upper and lower control arms(GMS), and a strut brace (MM). It would feel like you got a new car!
