put that on drag radials and you'd get yourself low 13's(for a stock mustang that is) and all the suspension you'd ever need for future motor mods.anything you do motor after all that would net you faster and faster times.
i was pretty close to the list even thought the team z k isnt staying for much longer

Thanks, I already have welded in sub frame connectors and Nitto 555r drag radials, so that should start me off

Those suspension mods are not going to add much fun on the street. Those are for pulling off great '60's.

For a great street suspension set up, I'd look at either of the following from Maximum Motorsports.

1990-93 Mustang Starter Box includes:
  • MM Road & Track Springs
  • MM Caster/Camber Plates (select Black or Chrome finish option)
  • 2 Bilstein Struts
  • 2 Bilstein Shocks
  • Front and Rear Urethane Spring Isolators
  • MM Urethane Pinion Snubber
$1,100


1990-93 Mustang Sport Box includes
  • H&R Sport springs
  • MM Caster/Camber Plates
  • Tokico Premium Performance struts
  • Tokico Premium Performance shocks
  • Urethane spring isolators
  • MM Pinion Snubber (solid axle Mustangs)
  • MM Panhard Bar
  • MM Standard Subframe Connectors
  • MM Strut Tower Brace
  • MM 4-point K-member Brace
  • Urethane steering rack bushings
  • Front swaybar bushings
  • Front swaybar end links
$1,430


You could piece together the above kits for less but these give you an idea of the kind of setup that will improve the way your car handles on the street.

Fair enough, I was talking about Kyle's suggested package as a whole. But spending extra money on adjustable anything for a street car is probably a waste of money.

yea it would depend on how serious the person is wanting to go or should i say how fast they are wanting to go so i slightly agree with you.
