i dont know about you guys but im looking more into turning and manuvers rather then drag set up...
so for starters LCA, PANHARD, SFC?
any order you guys would suggest? id prefer learning to control the car by 2 peices/upgrades at a time so car doesnt over shadow me
thanks

one word bro...steeda..contact those guys and tell em what you got and how much $ you have and they will hook you up..literally
+1. BTW be glad you dont have IRS. I raced with my friends 03 cobra up the pass last week and his *** kept slipping out and we have the excat same damn back tires. He hept slipping and slipping and i never even got close to breaking out. Hehe then i told him about all my suspension work. Dude go with coil over springs, upper and lower TUBULAR (not boxed) control arms, upgraded adjustable sway bars, weld in full length subframe connectors, strut tower bar, trunk tower bar and to really really make things stiff you can put in a 6 point boll bar. Have fun feeling every bump in the road though and have a girlfriend that complaines about it all the time haha

When you call MM, tell them how you want to drive the car... they have different setups for turning corners vs. 1/4 mile. I'm setup for autocross.

I started with just subframe connectors, trailing arms, Eibach springs, and Bilstein shocks/struts, and caster/camber plates.

Stage two was K-member, a-arms, coil-over conversion, strut tower brace, and eurethane bushings

Next was converting the rear to tourqe-arm and panhard bar.

Final stage: Autopower roll-bar

Some guys i know who run in AI started with a coilover setup up front and steeda comp springs in the back, tubular a arms and K member. i dont really know how the setup on the rear was. now they run in AIX and its coilover all around, the rear axle setup is hard to explain, there is this big *** steel v shaped piece that goes from the bottom of the rear diff up to the transmission crossmember area or something...i dont know what the hell it was, all i know was that it worked well for them, im pretty sure their team is leading in the west... they sold me my suspension setup
