About done with the motor... Need sick suspension and brakes!

[02g-machine]

Well, the only things I have left to do as far as engine performance goes on my car are some longtubes, a stage 1 cam, and maybe.....maybe some ported heads. I'm not looking for crazy power, that's why I'm staying on the N/A plan. But, after I get a few more things done, I really want to start concentrating on the suspension and brakes. I'm not building the car to be a quarter mile brawler; a low 13 maybe even high 12 would make me perfectly happy. What I'm looking for is a suspension/brake setup that I can drive around on the street decently comfortably, but yet have something that I can take to VIR or a local autocross and compete with the best of the handling sports cars. My only suspension mod is some C springs from Ford Racing. I'm considering going to an IRS rear, but I'm not sure yet. I need some input and some help with some parts, both suspension and brakes, that will really let me be able to throw my car out on the ragged edge. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I hear ya as far as the brakes go, good suggestion. But what is the MM Road & Track Box? Is it like a tranny gear set or something like that? Also, any good input on subframes, strut bars, and sway bars would be great to. Thanks.

Checkout my setup for handling + ride quality. I really dig it, and hey for the cash I got a resonably built rear end too! Also, don't forget about tires, especially autocrossing...might wanna pickup a set of Nitto NT-01's (decent and cost effective) or something.

It's a suspension kit, has subframes and strut tower brace included. Buncha stuff. Oh yeah, and with a panhard bar kit (included in that box) you'll have to get your exhuast custom fitted (if you wanna keep it rear exit).

Oh, it's a suspension package, duh. I'm an idiot, haha. But seriously though, how much of a difference is there between the Road & Track and Maximum Grip packages? Is the Max Grip for track only?

they can build the package to your spec so you can choose stiffer or softer dampers/coilover springs, the max grip swaps out the standard spring/strut location and replaces it with coil-overs for a better ride balance, also comes with the torque arm

Also take a look at http://www.stangsuspension.com.

I suggest sticking to one brand or known brands that work well together for suspension.
