Exclamation suspension setup....feedback please!

This is what I am considering. My suspension is all stock.

H&R springs
Bilstein shock/strus
MM c/c plates
MM subframe connectors

I will probably do the SFC's first. Then follow up with the other stuff at the same time.

Do I need anything else? Am I going to be messing with the geometry enough to do other upgrades?

Please give me any feedback or experiences you have with these parts.

Also recommend any alternatives?

THANKS!

Sounds good, just if you can afford it get a set of MM rear lower control arms and remove the quad shocks, you wont beleive the change in the rear suspension.

Stick with MM.

Brakes and tourque arm. If you can afford it/them

What made you decide on the Bilstein shock?

That looks like a pretty good setup. I have the MM CC plates and the subframes. I have a panhard bar too but that is still collecting dust in my garage. I have the Eibach springs but I will be taking those out because I am going with coil overs. I rode in a few mustangs with the full Grip in a box kit with coil overs and the ride was much better. It was not as harsh as the eibach's I have. If your gonna get the subframes, I would reccomend that you get the square ones, seems to have less issues when going with a torque arm.
