Lower Control Arms would be a good start from what I've read.

If he has wheel-hop that's a smart first move....

Most of the ride problems are shock related... But as far a the LCA's not making the ride worse, you want to pick a type that use some sort joint that allows rotation at least at one end. Versions that use poly bushings in both ends bind the axle's free movement, and that doesn't help the ride.

I've got a number of versions on my website. UMI makes a number that fit that bill that use either their Roto-joints or rod-ends, and Steeda has one that's super nice too 555-4406's. http://www.stranoparts.com/searchbym...D=99&ModelID=5 (link to the LCA page for S197 Mustangs).
