Default No more Evo for Stevo

So I am a recent ex-owner of a 2004 evo 8. there was so much heart ache and problems with that car. not to mention hate from everybody and their brother. i'm sick of the immaturity in the import community and hope to find a better home here in the domestic community. there is a 2002 mustang cobra for sale with 36k miles on it. known mods are injectors headers exhaust and possibly a pulley. i'm having it taken to my "tuner" (idk what you call them here, they tune my car, obviously.) hes the only person i trust with any of my cars. i know there's a search button but i'd like to get some direct feedback along with the search button. i haven't bought the mustang but i'm very interested in it. i'd like to know what some issues may be, areas that i should have my tuner directly check. id also like to know what some good name brands are for suspension and engine mods. i love modding and i do it myself because i'm really **** about what i do. and also what you guys think of the car! i'll post pics in a little while. it has a saleen body kit btw.

What are you goals in terms of handing and drivabilty? That'll determine as to where to point to.

Suspension:
Griggs or Maxium Motorsports (can't go wrong with either)

*still have yet to find the edit button*
the car is going to be autocrossed. i see what appears to be aftermarket struts mounted by looking in the engine bay. do you guys have coilovers? what brand should i get? is there a 8-9k spring rate cause thats what the front of the evo was set for
