by entire do you mean you are doing EVERYTHING? including k member, etc.? If I were you I would get a D&D front end kit which is like $500 dollars on ebay and it comes with a D&D K member, A Arms and a front coil over kit. After that, make sure you have subframes and than go with u/l control arms along with shocks/struts and C/C plates. Than your pretty much done, there are other things you can go with like panhard bars, torque arms, etc.

Depends on how far you want to go with it and how much you want to spend. Maximummotorsports.com will have everything you need!

^^ +1 of you can go with something like a grip box... but thats going to cost you thousands!

well i'll tell you what i have.. Global west subframes, koni shocks, coil over springs, bbk c/c plates, panhard bars, strut tower brace, and.. ummm... thats what i can think of right now..i have pictures i'll throw up later. But, the Globalwest subframe is awesome but hard to get a hold of.

Ya but if you want the best!!!!!! Thats all i used and it rocks! Dont settle for the cheap stuff you will be sorry!
I had a buddy try the D&D stuff and he had nothing but problems with the fit! Just one example though I dont have any exp with it.

I know a few people who run full D&D setup's with no problems. The biggest thing I have heard is that you MIGHT have to grind about 1/4' off of the k member to get it to fit perfect... not sure though only some people had to do that. I guess I will find out since I already have the k member and next week I am buying the a arms and front coil over kit with struts. I just baught strange 10 way shocks and a mm panhard bar that is going in this weekend along with mm subframes that went on last week. I agree with not going cheap. Except for the front end, everything in the rear will be MM for me.

I just like to keep it simple and all the same! Im sure theres lots of good parts out there, I just found MM to be the best IMO. I did alot of research also.

If you're looking to upgrade your suspension with springs and upper and lower rear control arms do the combination that I just did! I only spent $375.00 on all four springs and upper and lower control arms shipped to my door! I got the ford racing C springs and the Summit upper and lower control arms. The car is still up on jackstands right now because I've got school today and I was waiting on my dad to bring home a spring compressor last night so I can't tell you exactly how much it will lower it because it aint done. But I compared a new rear spring to one of my old rear springs side by side and the new rears were about 1 1/2 coils lower and the fronts are about 2 coils lower than stock. I can't wait to get it all done and align it (good thing I have access to an alignment machine and a lift!). Oh and the Summit Racing control arms are the same exact arms as the UPRs except the summit ones come powdercoated in either red or black and for the same price they come with the stage 8 bolts. I'll get pictures tonight as soon as I get it finished.

I just posted this in the other suspension upgrade post.
