i suggest you go with a grab-a-trak suspension kit from Mustangs Plus: they offer excellent handeling, and refinement, and a whole fron end kit will only set you back 800 bucks for it all;sway bar, upper and lower control arms springs, saddles etc. its the best bang for your buck

www.mustangsplus.com

check it out!!!

Yah I'm going with a grab-a-trak suspension from mustangsplus once I get the cash handy... Althought I'm thinking of getting a sound system first, I can only stand so much AM radio

You can get a whole kit from Laurel Mountain with KYB shocks, rear sway bar, rear spring kit and a free shock tower brace for about $800.

While you have it that far apart you might as well take a good look at the brakes and hoses. The kit for drums including wheelclyinders and rubber hoses can be found for less than 200.

A sound system would take a back seat to the suspension rebuild IMO. I have a cheap boom box from wally world that operates on batteries, or plug it into the cigarette lighter.
Once you get the car safe to drive, then save up for a sound system.
