I spend a lot of time over on Maximum Motorsports website looking through their grip boxes and handling packages. I'd love to do a coilover package, and I'm sure it's worth it, but it ain't cheap. At that point when does it stop? Control arms, subframe, sway bars, subframe connectors....the list could be endless. Part of me wants to chip away at it over time and part of me wants to bit the bullet and just do it all in one shot. With the Procharger on there I definitely want brakes and suspension to get some love before I do any more engine upgrades though.
I don't know what all of type of cars you've had with mods done to them, but this is my 2nd Mach and my first one will always be my baby. Funny part is that this one has the same engine (DSS Racing Pro Mod 5.0) as my 04. I had a D1sc on my 04, but this one is n/a and we are staying that way for now. My 04 also had a lot of suspension work done.

While I could have made a long list of parts, I know that I do not need all the suspension upgrades found on all those different web sites. I am mainly doing many of the suspension mods I loved on my 04.
I guess my suggestion would be figure out what you want out of the car, talk to these different shops and see what they say you need and then make your list and get those things.
