I'm looking to build this Kit piecemeal from my current stock setup. http://www.maximummotorsports.com/1990-93-Mustang-Maximum-Grip-Box-P1033.aspx

Wanted suggestions from where to start for suspension makeover. By the way, this will not be a track car, but I want it to be a very solid weekender.

I'm thinking starting with the list below:

1) shocks/struts/quads (flip or remove)
1b) I have subframe connector from MM already full length - these will go in.
2) Lower Control arms)
3) Upper rears?
4) What next....
5) what next/

Replace all the rubber bushings in the parts that you are not going to replace.
