Default Suspension/Sub-Frame?

Okay, hopefully next summerish (depending on my finance situation) I hope to do a H/C/I swap in my 95 gt. Along with other supporting mods (headers, Tb, maf, h-pipe) I would like to do a little work to the suspension.

What kits/systems do you all have some experience with I wana get more hp to the ground and make it feel stiffer. Im aiming for 300-350 Whp eventually so whats good?

I hear MM stuff is good....

Go with MM, theyre kits are great. Do pretty much what you want. All the pieces are made to work together so no guess work there.

Prices are pretty good to.

^+1 on Maximum Motorsports, they have kits with upper/lower control arms, k member, subframes, and bushing kits. Smart idea to brace her up with the engine mods.

+2 on MM. I just bought the upper/lower controls arms and the subframes. I can't wait to put them on

Eibach also makes some nice lowering, shock, strut, and/or sway bar kits.

I dont really plan on trying to take turns in my pony like im in a rally car, Straight and fast for me...

What should I focus more on the suspension/braces or control arms??

The built frame/suspension + some fat tires and I will hug the road nicley

Everyone is going to say MM because they are one of the best BUT they are definetly one of the most expensive. If you dont have the money to go with them D&D also makes tons of good stuff. You should start with the rear doing upper/lower control arms, struts, shocks, springs, or a coil over setup. Subframes, torque box reinforcements, etc.
