Full length subframe connectors, you'll be suprised at how much difference they will make.

rear upper and lower control arms, stiffer bushings for the whole car maybe a stiffer sway bar. are you lowered? what kind of tires are you running??

id say with all the mods listed above you would have a completely diffrent handling mustang for about 600-700 if you could do all of the installs yourself of corse a nice set of shocks and struts would make a big diffrence too. it all depends on what you want to spend. i would look in to some good shocks and struts, sub frame connectors and rear upper and lower control arms to start then go from there.

if on a budget i recommend tokico blues shruts and shocks along with tokico springs. It droped my vert 1.75" in the front and 1.5" in the rear got them off of ebay for $369 shipped they come with a life time warranty but they are not adjustable. They will not require cast plates and your car will have no body roll and will carve up the corners. I highly recommend Maximum sport sub frames (have them welded in) and you will be good to go it is a world of difference.
