Default Supporting Suspension Mods.. Which ones??

Like i said in my other thread, i'm planning on going f/i soon.
Wanted to upgrade my suspension a little. It's not supposed to turn into a trackstar.
But i would like a major upgrade from the feel it has now. I also just got my 18" Shelby gt500 take-off wheels wrapped in goodyears. Getting rid of the 20" rims.

Which suspension mods should i get? (www.brenspeed.com)
The basic necessities.

You will need more traction, LCAs/UCA, relocation brackets.

Also install some aftermarket Shocks/Struts if you want to cut corners better.

Lowering the car adds a bunch of other parts, the above list should make the car feel alot firmer and more in control.

Also, will the lowering springs give me any issues with my new wheels and/or old ones?
(old ones 245/35/20 allaround, new ones 285/xx/18 back, 255/xx/18 front)
I read that you have to get a adjustable panhard if u have aftermarket wheels and the ford lowering springs..

if your looking to drag the car at all dont do the lowering springs

if you do lower you'll have not issues w/ either set of tires
