A tubular k-member with adjustable coilovers UPR has a fairly cheap all in one setup. 4 link the rear or buy adjustable control arms to dial in the rear. Some good drag shocks, 6pt or better roll cage, subframe connectors Kenny Brown's the thick one's. Also you need to get a torque box kit to weld in that is the weakest point's and is a must before you start putting down a lot of power or even stock power on drag radials or slicks. This is of course a small list to start but if you can find a good welder and fabricator they can make what u need much cheaper if you have a good hookup.

i would be careful with coilover suspensions. i have done some extensive reading, and while they ARE popular, they can create some problems. the macpherson strut system in our beloved mustangs relies on two strut "towers" at the front of the car. These towers (where your struts mount) were not meant to support the entire weight of the car, which they will be doing under a coilover setup. This can create loads of chassis flex, and even misalignment, under hard cornering or heavy driving, ESPECIALLY with a heavier 351.

The coil springs perch into the k-member, distributing weight between the struts and coil springs, and between the strut towers and k-member.

The tubular k-member, however, is a great upgrade for correcting steering geometry issues, and saving weight.

for coil springs, shocks, and struts, i would recommend the bullitt equipment from ford. It is for the newer 94-04 stangs, but fits ours just fine (aside from the sway bars). you can find it at ppi (performancepartsinc.com) or summitt. at summit, search for 94-04 suspension packages. it comes with the sway bars. at ppi, you can buy the components seperately. its a great setup, and is pretty cheap.
