    get a set of ford racing c-springs, kyb shocjks and struts, as far as upper and lower control arms i would go with maximum motorports as well go with them for the caster and camber plates

    It also depends what he wants to do...is he going for handling or launch/traction...either way i wouldnt go with FRPP srings.

    The subframes keep your body from twisting and helps your car launch straight and the upper and lowers help put the wieght on the tires when launching.

    Punisher im surprised you dont have them already. Get a decent set LCA and UCA..Mac's are ok but ive seen the powdercoating peal and have seen lots of them squeak.BBK's are nice as are MM's. MM makes the best subframe connectors ive seen.But as far as FRPP springs.."I" wouldnt use them because there is better..H&R,Steeda,Eibach

    Hotchkis is good but for that money i would go with Steeda's and as far as BBK's breaking? Never seen them break i ran Southside machine uppers and Steeda lowers on my 02 gt never had a problem in 43k miles. Rowley did you have the rubber bushing or the spherical bushing?
