QA1 Tubular K-member

QA1 Tubular A-arms

Those are on the way.

This is what I plan on doing.

Front:

QA1 Tubular K-member

QA1 Tubular A-arms

UPR or QA1 coil over conversion kit with 300lb rated springs :eek:

Steeda or Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates

Tokico HP struts

UPR bumpsteer kit

Rear:

Still deciding whether I should convert the rear to coil over but so far

Tokico shocks

Eibach Prokit rear springs.

Beside the k-member and A-arms, go ahead and make recommendations.:tomato

Ah, adjustable shocks make my head explode lol. The HP are the same, just not adustable. The less complex, the better :yes.

I've got the front control arms check, QA1 tubular control arms. Should I get some for the rear as well?

SFC's are a must. That's what I was forgetting :sorry

Upper and lower for the rear. Guess I might as well go coil overs all around lol. Yea, I was looking at Che. As for SFCs, any particular brand stand out from the rest bang for the buck?
Was looking at these Kenny Brown Super SFCs

Kenny Brown Super Sub Frame Connectors 79 04 Mustang Cobra at v8power.com

Are these crappy? The price is incredible

eBay Motors: 79-04 Mustang GT BLACK Sub Frame Subframe Connectors (item 260291611094 end time Oct-24-08 06:01:05 PDT)

or better yet, SFCs AND a full rear end control arms kit!!!!!

the kenny browns are very good ive also heard alot about the maximim motorsports ones being awesome.. and control arms wise i wouldnt cheap out that much u can get steeda ones for like 200$.. You could go with the ones on ebay but i personally would go with a company that has a well known name so if anything happens they will back there product.. But like i said the ones on ebay may be good but i wouldnt take the chance..
Also there are some brand new blue che upper and lower control arms for sale for 175$ in the classifieds section..
