So far Stang has just the few bolts on:
1. Eibach Pro kit springs
2. UPR 4 bolt C/C plates
3. MM SFC's
Looking to add:
1. H&R Sport springs
2. MM rear LCA's
3. FRPP rear UCA's
4. Tokico Shocks and Struts
5. Steeda front and rea sway bars
Not sure if I'll need anything else. But looking to get the Mustang to handle a corners better.

I went with the Steeda adjustable uppers over what MM recommended which was the FRPP uppers.

The FRPP are a better idea if handling is the main concern. Poly bushings or spherical bearings don't give the compliance needed for the geometry in a stock Mustang rear suspension. On a more drag oriented car, either of those bushings will be fine, on a street car, I doubt other than the added noise a regular Joe would notice much difference.

I'd ditch the Tokicos for Bilsteins. H&R and Bilsteins are a match made in heaven. They should be ****ing each other by now.

I would luv to do Bilsteins, but my budget is not quite there yet. I got several other suspension mod parts to buy. A set of Bilsteins will run about $550.00 for all four. But, I can get a set of Tokico's and a set of H&R springs for < $550.00.

I have Bilsteins on my Coupe and love them. I got them from shox.com a few years ago and they were about $550 for front and rear. Awesome struts and shocks.

Look for a set of take off 03-04 cobra front struts (bilsteins) then you only have to buy the rears new. You should be able to find them pretty cheap. The 03-04 cobra rears were made for IRS won't work well on solid axle.
I had h&r super sports, MM cc plates, 03 cobra bilstein fronts, MM bilstein rears, MM rear lower control arms, FMS uppers and stock sway bars and my gt handled and rode great.
Before that I had Eibach springs, tokico 5-ways and upr uppers and lowers and it rode like ****.
Don't buy the sway bars.
Don't buy the uppers. Leave them stock.
Don't buy the lowers. Yet.
With the money left over buy the Bilstien/ H&R combo.
You will have a better handling car.

Thanks for the info. Will look into it.

Another vote for Bilstein.

this would be the way to go since it's mainly a street car.
