Right now on my 88 GT I have Eibach Sportline springs and KYB shocks. I'll be ordering caster camber plates and getting new rear tires. I also have BBK lower control arms. I'm looking to improve the suspension on my car so that I can hang in the turns better. I'm not worried about getting traction off the line quite as much yet, although I sure wouldn't mind it. I have been thinking about getting Maximum Motorsports sub-frame connectors or a Maximum Motorsports strut tower brace or sway bar, or just new bushings. I've also been considering getting new shocks, but I'm not sure yet. What do you guys think would be the next best suspension mods for my car? and what tires would you reccomend for handling?

put on a trackit plus from Kenny Brown. You get a panhard bar and parts to relocate your lower control arms.

my MM strut tower brace should clear, it's black. Feel free to test fit. Been in the garage for a year, it's not going anywhere!!!it's for the fox platform, and I haven't even drilled it yet to mount on the shock towers. This is the one that bolts in two places to the firewall area as well.

We sell all the parts from Griggs and a lot of parts from Maximum Motorsports, so I can give you some good advice regarding different setups. We set up cars for street and racing.
Basically, there's a right way to do the suspension and a LOT of wrong ways. There are quite a few commonly-installed parts out there that actually will make your car handle _worse_ at the limit, so it pays to pick your parts wisely.
First questions: What do you use your car for? What are you looking for in a suspension? Soft ride? Ultimate handling? Good street manners that'll hook up on the drag strip? Road racing/open tracking?
