What makes my stang drive "tighter"... I changed the springs and struts / shocks... Do control arms make the ride tighter? I am all over the road.. Need help.. Subframe connectors??? Need advice..

What do you mean by tighter? In corners? Over bumps? High speeds?

Subframe connectors gave my car a more "solid" feel in general and around corners.

subframes, shocks/struts, and springs will make your car feel a lot more solid and handle a lot better around the twisties. if you end up getting subframes, get weld-ins, NOT the bolt-in ones

Yes, control arms and sub-frame connectors make very noticable differences.

I see you installed Pro Kit spings. What kind of shocks/ struts?

Put it this way: I test drove a 99 Cobra with only 40,000 miles on it and the car didn't rattle or ride half as rough as my 96 Gt with 100K miles does... It rattles and gives me all sorts of jolts... I have the full Eibach pro-kit system with springs and struts. I guess I should try the subframe connectors and control arms. Hopefully that will help it ride a little better. Any other advice?
