I'm not looking to make this car a super drag or track racer.

The stock suspension is starting to wear and I was wondering what parts would offer the most ride comfort?

stock parts are probably going to give you the most squishyness. all that stock rubber is starting wear out but if you put fresh stuff in there you'll probably get back to soft and smooth.

most aftermarket stuff is designed to promote better handling while sacrificing ride comfort.

Part of the reason I went with bullitt stuff for the most part. Every article said the bullitt/mach1 spring/shock/swaybar combo was the best factory handling fox chassis to date. You look at a lot of the quick mach/bullitts in the shootouts they have in the rags and they manage to also get good 60fts with those spring/shock combos as well. On our cars it even lowers the car a little (not slammed but an improvement on the stock ride hight).

The whole setup can be had for under $500. Add to that some decent upper and lower control arms and some 03 cobra replacement arms (if anything for the new ball joints and new bushings that are better than the 94-95 ones new). You can also pick up some bullitt/mach brakes fairly cheap and add some stopping power as well. All for around 1k-1200 and that is without looking for deals.

Anything over an inch and half lowered kills the ride. For SOME reason these cars bottom out with more gap in the fenderwell than any car I've had.
