If you want it to handle i would stay away from heidts and martz both sell mustang 2 kits.If i had to do mine over or build a car i would use http://www.streetortrack.com/Street-...-pr-24491.html for the front.For brakes that fit a 15 inch rim would be like a 4 piston wilwood or http://www.streetortrack.com/Street-...-pr-24455.html

I used the kit from Rod and Custom Motor Sports, front and back. The car handles like a BMW but has the torque of a Mustang.

How on earth do we go from mustang engineers after nearly 50 years of work finally making a car that can almost keep up with an M series (stock to stock) to:

The Rod and Custom is a weld in application correct? Is it better to go with a complete weld in style or can you actually get the same results with a bolt in set up? (be it a coil over or other style)

It's a bolt in, in the rear. The front you'll need to remove the shock towers and weld in a flat panel, which makes the engine bay a flat square. Also, weld in a 2 inch solid bar that connects left and right frame rails.

I did the conversion on mine because my car was in a wreck 20 years ago and had lead welds. This made the front very unstable at high speeds.
