few questions to see if these parts are direct bolt up with the hard ware of course or what has to be done. I have a friend who is parting out his mach one and i want to know what i can upgrade on my car

brakes?
sway bar?
springs and shocks (or is it not worth it)?

Take what you can......

You will need the rotors for the brakes. Sway bar is fine, Springs and shock too. But you don't really need them......

thanx.

so the shocks and springs aren't worth it? I'm looking to auto X my car so i'm trying to stiffen up the suspension with out blowing big bucks.

You already have a pretty stiff suspension because you have a 'Vert. Better shocks and lowering it would help. I think the Mach's were only about 1" lower. You should already have sub frame connectors too. A set of slotted rotors and good pads will do wonders. You want to keep the heat out of the braking system, and going "big" is not always the answer. There is a company called 88rotors.com on Ebay. I picked up a set of 4 slotted rotors for $129.00 with free shipping. I've run them on the '01 with no problems whatsoever for the last 3 years. They were better than I would have expected for that price. My rotors haven't even started to wear yet.......

I would ask yourself to what extreme you want to "X" this car, then build a solid plan around that. 'Verts are heavier than a coupe......

thanks for the information

I ended up getting a lecture from my tuner friend about why going bigger isn't always better. There is a lot i still have to learn about tuning this car.
