Default What parts well hook my car up the best

I have built a few cars so far and now i finally have the LX that i always wanted. This time i want to set my car up right and before i add any HP to my setup i want to do the chassis first. I want to make the car hook up like glue but still drive like a street car. I know all the basics Lca's, Uca's, sway bars, sub frames. ect.. My question is what parts work the best together (brands). or should I buy a matched kit. I used to be a f body guy and i know what hooks those cars up. however i have always loved stangs and most of my boys have always had fords and ive been a mmff subscriber for ten years so i know whats popular so please any input and help puting together a good package would be great.
Thanks
Matt

Thank you for your input Wich uppers and lowers would you use my friend had ssm on one car and he had regular hochkiss bars on the other car both cars had the same drive train and i know the ssm bars are suposed to be awsome i even helped him set thjem up (using a angle finder and drilling the lca mount on the rear to set pinion angle) but it seemed like the strait up bolt in hochkis lca worked better. this is what i mean im looking for favorites and results i want to gather everyones finding and try to find the perfect combo so thanks and keep up the input please
