Right now my front suspension is horrible. Right now if i am on the freeway and go over 90 the car starts to dance on the freeway especially if i hit a bump. What are some must need upgrades that i need to do and what brand do you recommend?

start with a complete rebuild kit from national parts depot or mustangs plus. these will give you new parts to fix all the ills of your suspension. on top of that you want to do the shelby mod, check out www.dazecars.com for the proper template and drill bit to do the job. i would recommend going with roller bearing spring perches, you can get them from dazecars, or opentracker racing products. dazecars and opentracker also have adustable strut rods which are a good upgrade as well. after that a 1" front sway bar and a set of 540lb springs to round out the package nicely.

I don't know what the speed limit is in CA, but I bet it is not close to 90. Slow down, problem fixed

Just kidding, a good alignment will be in order too. It may be hard to come by, especially with people that have never seen an early Mustang's suspension. I got so discouraged that I learned to do my own on all my cars. I am pretty sure I will work harder to get it right than the guy getting paid by the shop hour.
