suggestions please, suspension

[legalize420]

need some suggestions. i want to start working on my suspension next. i want to get new shocks, struts, springs, upper and lower control arms, and sfc's. what brands are reccomended? will the summit or bbk control arms be a good choice? what about the shocks and struts. i found a package deal on the tokico hp shocks, struts, springs and sway bars for $400. should i cough up the extra dough for the illumnas or bilstiens? the car is my dd and the will see a few trips to the track each month. would i need or should i get cc plates? what else shold i get?

frpp uppers, steeda lowers, the tokicos are pretty nice thats what im runnin w/ my pro kit an they ride nice. much better than my old fms c spring set up.cc plates depend on the drop, more than a 1 1/2" and their a must.i odnt know about the tokico sprins or their subs, so i cant really help you their.

:Word: don't waste your money on uppers. the stock uppers with some stock replacement bushings is the key. that kit sounds good, the cc plates you probably won't NEED. cc plates are a good idea on any car just for the fact you gain additional caster. caster will reduce nose dive during braking and enhance return to center feel and high speed stability.

i have the following: eibach pro kit, mach 1 shocks/struts, qa1 cc plates, 03 cobra front arms, kenny brown front sway bar, stock uca's, hp motorsports lca's, hp motorsports panhard bar, stock cobra rear sway bar.

i plan on duplicating that setup on my 94, just with a bit more aggressive shock/strut. look into the pro-kit for verts as the vert springs tend to be a bit more agressive(stiffer).

do you have the aluminum or steel lca's?

I forked over the extra $ and went w/ the aluminums.

screw the cheap crap when it comes to suspension, I want the best

Struts and shocks: bilstein HDs you can get a great deal on a set of all 4 ($493) at stangsuspension.com so that will save you some legwork on looking.
everywhere else is 620+

lowers: griggs, maximum motorsport, steeda

uppers: its up to you i wouldnt waste my money on frpp ones they are just boxed uppers. You can have your's boxed if you like by having a piece of steel welded across the hollow side. Toss some new bushinsg in and that will help alot. If I were staying with uppers, i would get some adjustable uppers

Subframes: do it right the first time, save for full length
Maximum motorsports, steeda, griggs, etc

Springs: I love my H&Rs those with bilsteins are an amazing combination on a daily driver. I have super sports.

yes you will need CC plates if you want your tires to last longer than a year.

I would do a Panhard bar down the road
