Begining
 
Ok so I have always run drag cars and now want to settle down and turn and stop. My Sig has what is done so far and upcoming. I will be putting on 17x10.5 rears and new tires fronts will be 9.0 or 9.5 . Suggestions on tires and other susension parts would be great working with limited budget so I have to take small steps having major motor work done expecting to put about 450 +/- at the end of ot all.

Start with a good set of subframe connectors, lower control arms, and a good set of springs and shocks/struts and top it off with a set of caster camber plates. After that, things get more serious, and you have to make some decisions about how deep you want to go.

Thanks I was kinda headed that direction but just wanted another view.

You want it perfect right off the top, call up Maximum Motorsports.

The ultimate mustang suspension would probably be a MM Max Grip box. That's what I run.

You should look at a set of cobra/bullit/mach1 front brakes as well. If you need specific info, let us know. A call to MM will be your best bet.

I'd do (in order)
brakes
subframe connectors
coil over conversion (MM Bilstein CO's)
front and rear control arms
panhard bar
torque arm (add sway bars and stiffer rear springs here as well)
k-member
steering shaft

Suspension + brakes > hp

Thanks I buy alot from AM do you think they are pretyy fair on brakes Thinking the cobra kit they have might be a good starter.

dunno... I never buy parts retail. I don't even know what a good retail price is.

i did find this for you. He's local to me. Trying to swap him for some other parts I have but if you buy em, that's sorta that. you'll need rotors and pads and lines in addition to the parts he's offering.

Bullitt calipers and brackets are on blowout sale everywhere........ I saw a set at my local Mustang shop for $229 brand new. Then all you would need is banjo bolts and rotors.

Hey Guys Thanks for the input now I gotta budget with the new motor underway the other stuff will be coming slow.

02trgt:You think even with the build coming with the pro charger the 430s are to tall,It is no D.D. Thanks
