Next step on my stang

Which way would you go next. I have some money saved up plus my tax return in a couple months. Its in storage right now but stock piling parts for the spring. I just got cobra brakes and 4.10 gears on the way for christmas from my girlfriend. First thought I would build the suspension with springs, shocks, struts, and caster camber plates etc. Or build the drivetrain when I put the 4.10 gears in with a limited slip differential and 31 spline axles with maybe a upgraded radiator.

What are ur plans with the car? Can't beat a built suspension with upgraded bushings all around. I plan on doing that before any major motor mods.

Or if ur looking for power then we need to know more info about the car.

Its a summer car and just a hobby to mod the stang. Its a 98 gt with ported heads, pi cams, pi intake, 75mm Tb and plenum. Future plans are to build a forged shortblock on the side and drop it in and eventually supercharge it. I just want everything else ready for the future built motor thats supercharged. Just wondering best route cause eventually all will be done.

If you are getting brakes, I say do the whole drivetrain and upgrade the diff, axles and just buy springs for now, and watch for deals on the springs like on eBay if you are on a budget.

Luckily, I am in FL, so I am stockpiling parts to throw on Christmas weekend, because I am going to start autocrossing it soon. And trust me, those cobra brakes are 100 times better than the stock ones. I know it when I did my Mach 1 kit.

Weld-in subframe connectors will be a great complement to the rest of your suspension setup.

I was thinking that also. I am sick of the truck look. I just hate to lower it without doing the shocks and struts and caster camber plates. Decisions decisions. Well thanks

I would also go the built rear route and do springs for now, and then go in and do the rest. It would be easier to go back and re-do suspension then pulling the rear again

Like others have said, a nice foundation with brakes and suspension is great to have.

There are alot of options really and we can make you a great deal on any Maximum Motorsports products.
