I'm assuming the clutch was like $799, or $899. because if its $99 I'd jump on that in an instant.

-rod ends will be berry loud id go with poly bushings on the control arms, should be a little cheaper too.
-my car is my daily driver for 3 seasons, i have dspecs, they are a million times better and can be more comfortable than the stock shocks/struts..

It makes no sense to start lowering your car either as that will just be counterproductive, but I'll agree to go with the 3.5" shaft.

Hope that helps.
I thought the same thing about the front sway bar choice. I read somewhere that our Mustangs don't really need an aftermarket front sway bar since the stock one is pretty good. Buying a new front sway bar would be a waste of money. What our stangs really need is a beefier rear sway bar to correct the understeer our stangs tend to have. That's what I'm getting when I have the money.

Be sure you don't mind road noise, I hear that rod ends are very loud.

What are you talking about? I didn't make the front sway bar comment because the front sway bar in the Mustang is adequate I made the comment because with that list of mods you've turned your car into an all out drag machine.Your car will become impossible to bear driving on the street for an average person that expects to ride comfortably or to take a corner a very high speed. The anti roll bar has nothing to do with cornering. It's designed to prevent this:



Notice the roll on the rear axle (not talking about the body)?

It's obvious from the anti-roll bar's design that it isn't designed to be cornering.
