Default Ordered a butt load of suspension parts!

Well last night i ordered:
Steeda Sport Springs
Tokicko Illumina Adjustable shocks/struts
X2 Ball Joint
MM Caster camber Plates
MM Full Length XL Subframe Connectors
MM LCA's
Steeda Bumpsteer Kit
I think that these parts are going to reall yimprove my Bullitt in every way. I can't wait! Next week i'll be ordering a all new rear end parts (Eaton posi, 31 splines, Rear Girdle, maybe alum. driveshaft)....already have 4.10 gears. I'm so excited. If anyone has any suggetsions about some piece of the equation that i'm missing please lmk. I may have overlooked ordering some essential or greatly beneficial part. My Bullitt is daily driven, but sees occasional strip use and sometimes gets to go play on an autocross track(unfortunatley this is rare).

Yes, the insurance money covered all the visual stuff listed and a few dates with my gf, but all the performance mods are paid for through working and through my high school graduation gifts etc. This month I graduated, began dating a ridiculously hot girl, and on Sunday I turn 18...in August i'm headed to college @ UT Austin to major in Communications. Life is pretty sweet right about now.

only 1 piece missing.. a MM Panhard bar. You'd really like what that adds to the combo. They're not expensive and if you have a friend with a welder... they take about 30 minutes to install.

those springs might be a little stiff for the drag strip but if youre willing to sacrifice a little 60' time for better handeling meh, remeber to lossen those shock up all the way at the strip and it might not do to bad. ive heard nothing but good things about what a panard bar dose for the mustangs, again not really needed for the strip but a worthwile upgrade for the autoX

panhard just makes the car feel a helluva lot more solid. Also helps to keep the rear centered better in the car so it runs straight. Better for the road than for a the strip but it's super on the curvy tracks.

I LOVE my torque arm. If you're going to do that I'd highly recommend getting the front end done up with coil over and tubular arms and k-member. It's important to keep the grip balanced.
