Default track suspension setup

ok so i'm pretty clueless about suspension. i want my car to be able to handle in the twisties rather than go fast in a straight line. so far i have:

MM full-length SFC
MM PHB
PA Racing k-member
Eibach pro kit springs

is there anything else i need? do i need CC plates, shocks/struts, or control arms?

How far do you REALLY want to go?

If you want to go all the way, you need pan-hard bar or Watts-Link and torque-arm out back. If not quite that far, some poly/spherical LCA's/UCA's out back. Look up some recient posts in this section and I have some links to some nice UPR pieces.

HTH

I wish that the prevailing point-of-view for suspension mods was not considered a "track only" upgrade. This is no slight against you, but I just keep hearing this

As a DD, I cannot wait to get my car out on the road EVERY SINGLE CHANCE I GET . Now my ride is taken to the extreme and will actually be autoX'ing it tomorrow, but taking even the most modest turn is SPECTACULAR in my ride. I recommend EVERYONE interested in this subject take a ride in a truly well-suspended Mustang... on the street and at the speed limit!
