I'm wanting a good stance, and better handling on the curvies. I don't do any racing hardly. And for the time being. I don't have plans for going with alot of horsepower. Probably stay under the 300hp range. My cars pretty worn out. So there's the reasons for the whole suspension overhaul. Next up will be the body.....

I am looking for better handling with curves and a better ride quality, the stance is not the most important thing, would the pro kit be the way to go, and are there several different versions that I need to research before I buy?Btw, I realize the stang is not a caddy, I figured I would say that before I get flame for the ride quality remark...... I live in GA where even the highways are curvy, just like our women, lol.....Thats one big reason I want the car to handle very well.

Well.. I made my decisions and ordered everything today. I went with..
1.) BBK specific rate springs w/1.5 drop
2.) Energy Suspensions master poly-bushing kit
3.) Energy Suspensions 2-degree offset rack bushings
4.) BBK caster camber plates
And I'm going to be running Monroe sensa-trac struts.
After I get all this on during my vacation. I'm going to start saving for my sub-frame conectors, maybe a k-member brace or a strut tower brace, and definatley some torque box re-inforcements. Then out with the interior, then the body, and the drivetrain last.
