help with suspension

[black35th99gt]

i have a 99 gt and about to upgrade my suspension, so far i have ford racing lowering springs progressive rate energy suspension coil isolaters, and sway bar links, and kyb gr-2 struts and shocks, along with the ford racing cobra control arm kit, i plan to get camber/caster plates. i was wondering if anybody had any advice on which off-set steering rack bushings to get, aluminum or urethane, also i plan to do upper and lower rear control arms, i read that you can take the quads off the back? is it better to leave them on?

Take the quads off
and for a daily driver, I'd just swap the LCA, not uppers...

So what are you trying to get out of your car handling wise?

None, offset rack bushings spin around

Loose the quad shocks if you have aftermarket control arms.

Untrue. You can remove the quads only with certain LCA's, not with any LCA.

Get the Maximum Motorsports lca's then you can lose the quads. Make sure whatever lca's you get have spherical bearings at the axle end because poly bushings cause severe suspension bind at the axle end. My MM adjustable lca's were one of the best mods I have ever done. They make the car hook like crazy and the rear end doesnt feel as loose & wobbley as b4. MM caster camber plates are great 2. I would also get some better struts & shocks then the KYB GR2's because those are more of a stock replacement, and they are too soft for good handling IMO & stiffer springs will wear those out quicker then stock springs. Even the Mach 1 tokicos are better then those. Do it right the first time, get some Bilstein's...
