Ok I have a 95 Gt 5speed and I have a couple of Questions. I'm getting ready to put my car up and get some work done on it. Im upgrading and replacing almost all front and rear suspension and some motor work. Heres whats going on it -

Rear Suspension: Shocks, Springs and Insulators, steering damper shock, Tubular Upper and Lower control arms.
Front Suspension: Lower Control arm bushings, Lower Ball Joint, Tie Rod, Sway Bar Links and Bushing, Struts, Springs and Insulators.

First Question is am I missing any suspension parts that should be replaced while I'm doing this stuff?

Second I'm upgraging the motor some as well, I Have 3.73 Gears in the back... My current Upgrades are minor, have CAI, 70mm Throttle Body, BBK headers, No Cats with a o/r H pipe, Distributor, cap, rotor, racing wires.

I Have a 80mm Mass air calibrated for 19lbs injectors, Gt40 Intake and Gt40p Heads.

I know that 95's are a pain to tune for upgrades, im trying to figure out how much I can do before I run into issues tuning it. I want to do the GT40 setup and would like to do a cam too. I've Never really done any upgrades before(I've replaced parts and rebuilt a few motors, but never changed from stock) I know guys on here have alot more exp than me and I'm trying to figure out how far I can go and what else I might need before running into any tuning issues. Trying to get this done without breaking the bank. Plan on building a 351 soon, just trying to have a little fun now.

Can anyone give a little info to help me with my build, thanks in advance.

mill those heads .028" from stock to get your compression to a more optimum level for 91 - 93 octane or E85 corm gas.

Are all those front end parts actually bad? As far as out back it looks like you got it all but just take off the quad shocks if you're going with quality control arms. Down the road are you putting the 351 in this car? If so you might as well reinforce the torque boxes while the control arms are out.

not all the parts were bad, the shocks where blown out as well as the lower ball joints. The tie rod end had some play, and insulators where worn down. I figured since it my Daily driver and fun to drive that I would just upgrade and replace it all.

yes I plan on doing 351 stroked to 408. Good build to handle turbo/supercharger in the future.

you only want around 8.5 compression then.
