yea, that's what I would suggest. Get some eibach's and a good sway bar and you'll be set. Maybe some coilovers if you want to go a little bigger...

Definitely you'll want Subframes and shocks/struts, but that's fairly vague. It all depends on what your goals are.
What's your budget? How low do you want it? How much does ride quality matter? Street only? Street/Auto-X? How much Auto-X? Do you want your setup to be easily upgraded? There are a bunch of questions that can help us point you in the right direction.

2. The key to Mustang handling is increased spring rate, so any spring you buy that is bought with the purpose of significantly increased handling should be a notably higher spring rate than stock. As a result, you will need better shocks and struts. When the goal is handling, springs and dampers are not two seperate steps.

Watch out on that rear sway bar too,depending on what diameter you get it changes how you turn and what you should do when you spin out in a turn. its not just an automatic traction contraption so youll never have to worry about going into a curb again. which ive done...
