Default 1994 Mustang Cobra need help with suspension

hey guys i got some extra money and want to get some suspension. right now i just have some lowering springs and edel shocks.

I am going to have a 347 with around 400 or so hp.

Dont know much about suspension and what i need to put the power to the ground.

besides sub-frame connectors, what parts should i get? i heard UPR isnt that great. i dont wanna spend a boat load but want some quality parts.

Upper and lower control arms are a must. If you plan on doing plenty of racing, I would get adjustable control arms. Also, it wouldn't hurt to look into a set of ADJUSTABLE shocks/struts like Strange or KYB.

Nothing wrong with UPR products. But if you don't want UPR you can use Maximum Motorsports.

Upper and lower control arms, adjustable would be my choice. For a street car, I'd say get the ones with urethane bushings. Spherical can be harsh, delrin bushings can be really harsh.

Welding the control arm mounting points to make sure they're solid.

Adjustable pinion snubber.

Weld in subframe connectors.

Adjustable shocks would help plant the tires harder, due to being able to account for the conditions.

Are you looking for drag or curves, or overall street? If you want curves or street, add in these:
Urethane A arm bushings
Urethane sway bar bushings with billet brackets
Larger front sway bar
K member brace
Caster/Camber plates

For serious curves, add these:
Panhard bar
Kenny Brown Extreme Matrix
