Steeda stop the hop kit is great, BMR sells a lot of other great suspension parts too.

Steeda Stop the hop kit, at the very minimum the steeda irs braces and irs alignment. There is just way to much slop between the chasis and subframe for a hard launch on a drag strip, that slop almost put me in the wall last spring before I installed on my ride. Now it launches straight as an arrow!

BMR + 1 here.

Add bias ply tires to your list if your car has a manual tranny.

Bare minimum? The swap the lower rear control arm bushing with a bearing and do the ford performance toe link bearing. That should fix /most/ of the rear issues, but its not the easier route as far as install effort goes.

My car is a 10r80 and will be a street car only…no drag strip.

I personally started with the BMR CB005 and it's night and day.

Do you have a vert? I think some of that stuff is hard top only just want to make sure.

Didn't realize you had a vert. The CB005 are no compatible with verts unfortunately.

Edit: probably would behoove me to look at which part of the forum shit's posted in. My apologies.

Convertibles most always have a different part for these types of mods, I found. They have different bracing underneath so coupe parts don't fit. But the options are out there, just be sure to find the convertible parts or folks like Steeda or BMR just call and they'll fix you up. I did the IRS subframe kit from Steeda plus some springs and sways.

We offer a couple different kits for something like this using STEEDA and BMR. Both will work great and get you in the direction you are looking to go. From there, it's just shocks and if you want to solid the bushings up more. If yours is a manual and you are gearing it more towards drag racing, I would do that.

As far as brands, BMR, UPR, and Steeda all make quality parts. If your only doing one thing though, we actually recommend starting with a set of viking rear shocks, complete adjustable with 22 settings. With an IRS you want to hit the tire hard, so you want it stiff enough to do that on launch.

After that, a lockout or subframe support of some sort.

WE have multiple packages available, and are always happy to take the time to talk with you about your setup.

Feel free to DM or give me a ring at 513-478-1965
