Suspension mods...where to start?
#23
Loose up front and tight in the rear!
Front:
4 cyl springs up front (cut)
Lakewood 90/10's
Swaybar removed
Rear:
FRPP C Springs (dead coil cut)
Tokico shocks
UPR Dbl Adj Uppers (-2.5* pinion angle)
UPR Solid Lowers
UPR Rearend Mount Spherical Bushings
I would hole shot just about everyone and some people would try to leave early b/c they knew I was about to kick their *** off the line.

Yep! I think Jazzer was just teasing me because he knows I work for UPR so of course I'm gonna recommend UPR. However, I've personally owned dozens of Mustangs and I've tried all different types of suspension setup. I truly believe UPR offers the best bang for the buck. We offer really good grip without spending $10,000 on suspension like some of the kits out there.
^^See? UPR!!!
I had a cheap and simple setup that netted me a 1.60 sixty foot NA on 17" nittos, while leaving too low (3800 rpm). Not too many people that I know of have done the same thing.

Hmm well I guess I will go with UPR assuming my budget allows it. Although I am curious, can someone explain to me how the UPR subframe connectors are so much better than other brands such as MM?

I don't see the thickness of UPR's FLSFC's on their site, but you would notice a difference on two otherwise identical cars. UPR's are about $5.00 less with shipping/tax running less as well. Add some additional discount from UPR being a site sponsor to MF's and you will save a nice little bit of $$$ from Sharad
Jazzer... pimpin' for da sUPRpimp
PM Sharad for the discount code

Alright I PMed Sharad, going to order the subframe connectors when he gets back to me.
Are there any other suspension mods I should look into? I already have a strut tower brace that came off of a 97 GT so it's a Ford OEM one. Are the OEM ones good?
Thanks for the help guys

A STB is just not very beneficial to an SN95+ car It certainly wont hurt anything, but unless you were going serious open-track/AX, not enough body flex up there to supress.
In order of how I like to see those do mods for cornering:
#1 ~ Tires, tires, tires... ones that fit the needs of the driver
#2 ~ FLSFC's
#4 ~ LCA's (Jazzer approved, of course)
Above all of this.... seat time! There is just no substitution for the driver-mod
