Suspension Setup?
I plan on doing something with my suspension mid next month, as I should have about $1,000 to spend by then. I want to make sure this would be a good setup and thought there would be no better place to find out then MustangForums! Anyways I have the following planned: 'Eibach Sportlines' along with 'Tokico D-Spec struts and dampers' and a 'panhard bar' most likely by Steeda but need a few more tips on that. I am doing this for ultimate performance at the track and want to make sure this is a good setup. I have all the mods listed in my signature and have a lot more coming after this suspension work is done.
I appreciate all comments!

Yeah, I am aware of that although Fred of Evolution Performance said he has had no problems with speedbumps with his. I'm sure he may of exagerated a bit, but I feel I am prepared to take the punch and go for it.

Speed bumps with the Sports are no problem you just can't go flying over them and you do have to be careful pulling into parking spots. You are going with a good set up you should also at http://www.bmrfabrication.com/2005Mustang.htm for a rear panhard rod. In the future you should look at getting a good set lower control arms as already pointed out BMR also makes them.

RE: Suspension Setup?
heres the suspension setup on mine,
steeda g-trac brace
steeda adjustable panhard bar
steeda sport springs
steeda lower control arms
tokico D-spec shocks and struts
im not saying to go out and get this same stuff, but i love the way my car rides and handles now, and if you plan to drag get control arms! honestly i look at all of spyders stuff and what he has done and i wish i would have done suspension before i did power, suspension makes or breaks a good 1/4 time on these cars but thats my opinion.

I got the eibach pro kit put on this weekend and it is awesome. I have 20 inch wheels and the combo is perfect. Any lower and I would be rubbing. Also the car comes with a good suspension and with the kit it handles very well.
