I'm in the same boat as you. Lower springs are a no go, because of the hilly terrain around here. I'd replace the lower control arms first per CrazyAl's suggestion. It's a great bang-for-the-buck modification.

Here are the top three weak spots, as far as I can see:

1. Lower Control Arms
2. Upper Control Arms
3. Rear Sway Bar

If you're going with a one piece driveshaft in the future, then one of the control arms should be adjustable to correct pinion angle. If not, then you can save money and get the non-adjustable kind.

I'm very happy with my lower control arms. It's relatively inexpensive, too. Including installation it cost me about $300 - $350.

Is it possible to change the LCAs, rear sway, and/or panhard rod yourself?

Im fairly mechanically inclined, but not for things that shop should definatley do (like gears for example)

RodeoFlyer

lower control arms - reduce wheelhop

shocks - ride quality

rear swaybar - reduce undesteer

there is a big difference between Falken RT-615's and Khumo MX's. The Khumos will last much longer. The Falkens get pretty hard after a lot of heat cycles, so their really not great for a daily driver.

Ok, one more question...

Do you all trust the stangsuspension.com's in-house products? Or should I only buy actual brand names?

RodeoFlyer

actual brand names that WORK. even the best companies have some CRAP mixed in with their products.

BMR and Spohn are good...che isnt bad either

I went ahead and ordered stangsuspension.com's in-house products: lower control arms and a panhard rod.

I'm just a daily driver, no racing, so I'm hoping these cheaper products will give me a nice feel over stock... I'll give you all a review when its over.
