2004 Mustang GT, "Torch Red", 30 miles on it

I am unbelievably excited for tomorrow I'll also have pictures then. For the next few monthes it looks like most of my concentration is going to be on handling performance and not really engine performance due to certain fatherly influences (there are some disadvantages of having a caring, former muscle car racer) but more handling is always better for everyone

I need to know handling upgrades! please please please please! Best order of progression and what parts specfically would be really nice

Thanks everyone!

I would start out with springs/shocks/struts and a swaybar.Then get tires with better grip. Full-length subframe connectors and lower control arms would be next on my list.

Well it really depends on if you plan to autocross or open track race the car. If that is the intended manner, then I would probably go with the above stated. If you just want it to look better and be a little more responsive when diving on to the offramp or onramp then just get some springs.

BTW, it is Torch red.
