Its hard to beat maximum motorsports. You can check out my friends at LastCallRacing.com - Mustang Performance Parts, The Source For Your Horse for a good deal.

I like the Steeda Subframe connectors myself. We used Maximum Motorsports but they never seemed to align properly.

As far as control arms, BMR or UPR would be my choice. I run UPR on my Cobra, good price and quality.

MM Subs and UPR control arms - none of these parts are expensive and will make a world of difference...

bartee25, I'm posting my response to your PM here because 'the man' won't allow me to PM until I have 5 posts...LOL (I'll PM you here in a min with the same response as below...)

I have the Chrome Moly Rear Control arm Suspension Kit, part # 2002-09, at $250. It's a bargain and these are beefy pieces. UPR makes some of the best suspension period - the cheap prices make it twice as good.
I went with poly bushings as the Mustangs tend to be noisy without adding solid link suspension pieces... I'm very happy with these.

Chris

Griggs Racing, Steeda, Maximum Motorsports. All three are good companies. People like UPR but I personally think they are cheap knock off crap. Atleast for road racing they are, people seem to like them for drag racing, so I can't complain too much there. But they seem to be very much entry level pieces to me.

They are all pretty similar. There's not much you can change.

Bartee,

Unless you're going to be pushing your car through the corners every weekend or doing multiples runs down the track any of these will be fine!
