Default Chassis

I am looking into making my chassis stronger, and did a quick look on some website's for suspension kits, or chassis kits. I found most of them where by ford racing. I have heard mixed things about ford racing being bad, and good. Can anyone reccomend a company that would sell parts for this application?

Weld in subframe connectors. Install rear upper and lowers and weld torque boxes and axle tubes.

I have seen many foxes on the circle track with a balanced& modified suspension, eating corners like candy, without the excessive travel. 90+mph

+1 , you dont wanna see my torque boxes[:'(]
