Default 2004 Cobra suspension upgrade advice

I recently bought an 04 cobra with a few mods to it. Suspension wise it has a steeda bumpsteer kit, camber kit, and h&r race springs. I want this mustang to handle with m3s and evos and need some help on good brands and products to help me out. What suspension setup would be best to hang in the turns? not to worried about sacraficing the ride comfort either. thanks

A good set of tires will help alot. Some of the cheaper things you can do is start with some full lenght subframe connectors and a 3 pt. strut tower brace. Check this site out and there are alot of others but maybe this will give you some ideas.

Adjustable coil overs would help,it seems like you have a good start. Bumpsteer kits aren't essential with these cars though, you can usually get the alignment dialed in with good CC plates!!

Well if the sky is the limit, go for a full K member with coilovers on the front, I doubt you'll ever handle like an EVO, they have 4 wheel drive and are basically a factory race car

The IRS will help in the twisties. +1 on coil overs and some tires that will grip. Lowered and subframes will help alot. usually with my past mustangs, lowered with subframes and i could still take the turns at a good speed with a SRA.
But with power you'll smoke then on the straigh aways.
