I'll probably end up doing that. If work would pick up again I'd order the things I want. But neigh, work is still slow.

Tokico D-Specs Front and Rear
Steeda Sport Springs (1"F/1.25"R, 200lbs/in F/175lbs/in R)
Steeda HD plates (-1.7Âş of camber, +7.5Âş Caster, NO toe)
Strano Performance Parts 35mm front sway bar
Strano Performance Parts 25mm rear sway bar
Fays2 Watts link
Dunlop Direzza Z1 Sport Star Specs in 245/45/18

Seems to work reasonably well. I would love more negative camber, more spring rate and better shocks/struts and more tire but I'm very budget limited so I can't fix those things too easily... When the star specs die by the end of this year I plan on picking up new wheels/tires. Probably TSW Interlagos 18x9's (18.7lbs each! :eek:) with 265/40/18 tires... the tires are "undecided" as of right now, I'm waiting to see how the "tire wars" stack out for the 140-200 treadwear street tire range. 265 is as wide as I can go in my autocross class, same for the 9" wheel. It sucks, but it is what it is.

I'll probably throw some Continental ExtremeContact DW's on the stock rims and run around on those for a DD tire and use the TSW's with the 265/40's for autocross only.

Finally bought a welder so I can work on the mustang. I picked up a Miller 211, not a tig welder like I wanted but more appropriate for what I need. Cant wait to weld the tq arm in place and see how well it all works. If it seems to handle ok maybe ill bail on setting up the neon for autox and buy an appropriate set of tires for the mustang. Suspension will be strange 10 way at all 4 corners, rear stock sway bar, progressive 375-440 lb/in springs and front are coilovers with 175-350 lbs./in and no sway bar. I might throw a sway bar up front but wont bother until I drive it and decide that is what I want. Surely that wouldn't do too bad with proper tires.
