Modding 2007 Mustang Suspension

Ok well i am done for now with performance and visual mods, so i guess next up would be the interior mods and suspension mods. What would be the order of least expensive to most expensive mods i can do to help suspension. Also i want to start with first with things i can install myself, with help, and with basic tools. Right now i feel the suspension is good enough the way it is but i would like to get more power to the ground more efficiently and cut down on the spinning and wheel hopping.

yes, and sadly i will have to keep them. I cant lower my car because i already scrap a couple of places with the chin on. I might get the roush springs that lower the Rear only but i like the racked look though.

if u dont have lower control arms yet that should be priority #1
then maybe some full length subframe connectors, depending on what u do with the car, either some adjustable shocks and struts or some reg ones.

if your looking at lower controll arms
2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 Mustang Parts » S197 Mustang Control Arms & Brackets » CHE Performance » Tubular Rear Lower Control Arms<br>Part # CHE1K

are simply the best they use delrin instead of poly against the metal bushing so there is no worry about ever having to grease them as delrin is self lubricating and they wont squeak over time.

plus they are the only aftermarket controll arm that gives you a built in holder for the parking brake cable since it runs through the stock arm.

we are a dealer for them and 129 is our price.
CHe is simply the best stuff for the latel model mustang as far as controll arms go ..

if your looking for a k member and front controll arms then go BME if your looking for a drag style anti roll bar the TRZ unit is the best.
