I will man. Right now im on the fence with what to do with my car. I wanna do heads/cams/intake/longtubes but i also wanna do suspension, built rear, and drag wheels(already have a set picked out...but they are pricey). And i dont wanna half-*** it either way. I buy quality parts and im probably gonna go with a different set of control arms. Kevin Slabby from Baseline suspension was a really big help to me and his products work amazing. My buddy has used Baseline suspension on all his cars and it works wonders. So thats who i would be buying my suspension from. Altogether, im gonna have about 4k to drop into my car this summer. So i need some help deciding on what to do.

I know Im in the same boat as you. I've spent a ton of money on the looks of my car now I want to get a motor, suspension and tranny work done. I need suspension and tranny so that my car can handle all the power that Im going to make. I think that the next thing I'm going to buy is the Eibach Anti-Roll Bar Kit and some Upper and Lower Control arms and possibly some Caster Camber Plates. I think Im going to get some of the supension out of the way this summer so next summer I can concentrate on the motor and tranny. Thats around what Im going to be putting into my car this summer too, about 4 grand. So thats what Im pretty sure Im going to do, but its just so hard to know where to start. So I guess I would get some suspension stuff done first and then after that stuff is done really concentrate on the heads/cams/intake/longtubes. Keep me updated on what ya do. later man

Yea, one thing you have over me 02stang is you already have a built rear in your car. I need to take care of that also this summer. But everything im doing is gonna be built around what my future plans are. I wanna do 3.90 gears so i can run a 28" tire at the track and still have quick spool and a little bit of gear but also for a little bit quicker spool on the street too. But heres the list of options for this summer: Heads, cams, intake manifold, longtubes, corsa dB mufflers, built rear with gears, uca/lca, tubular k-member with coilover conversion, new rims and tires, clutch. That about sums up the parts i wanna get out of the way before i build my motor. Now i just need to choose which of those im gonna buy this summer and which ones im gonna start saving for. BTW, anyone using the cheap route of buying an explorer differential and rebuilding it for a built rear??? And does anyone know if ford ever used a 33 spline differential in any of its vehicles that you could pull out and rebuilt to make an even stronger rear???
