Hey guys, whats up?

Just looking ahead towards my suspension build since I got everything I need for my engine build.

So far, I got both the Steeda IRS and Rear Diff. Bushings, and since she's a DD, gonna get Viking Warrior Shocks, Steeda Progressive Sport Springs, Steeda front and rear Sway bars + Endlinks, Billet Vertical links, and the IRS Aligenment kit

Now of course, I also seen these:

http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-camber-plates-15-16-all-555-8139/ - Camber Plates
http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-rear-lower-control-arm-spherical-bearing-2015-2016-all-555-4117/ - Lower Control Arm Spherical bearings
http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-bumpsteer-kit-2015-555-8133/ - Bumpersteer Kit
http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-adjustable-rear-toe-link-2015-all-555-4120/ - Adjustable toe links
http://www.steeda.com/steeda-s550-mustang-rear-adjustable-camber-arms-2015-2016-all-555-4122/ - Rear Camber Arms

Again, Gia's first and foremost a DD that I plan to road trip and may take to the strip once or twice at most, never tracked and would most likely get a more dedicated track toy, though I never have.

So before I go HAM and attempt to get everything mentioned, is it all worth it or no?

Thanks for taking a look

If you are making it a daily driver, then you don't need any of those other items. I see you have redone the engine, so it might help to know your plans other than a daily driver. If I was to change anything in My opinion, I would get Koni shock's when they come out.

Gotcha, though I do drive spiritedly and do love to take corners and stuff, so I figured the Sway Bars and end links at least are worth it

Haven't done any installs other than the Throttle body spacer yet, next week they should be in hopefully

I would do the following:

1. Wait on the camber plates. You may be able to get her properly aligned if the drop isn't too low.
2. Wait on the bump steer kit. If you are not too low, it may not be needed.
3. I wouldn't get the rear camber arms. Not sure they do much and stock ones look pretty substantial.
4. I would get the Ford Racing Knuckle Bearing.
5. Consider BMR Springs. I believe they tailored their springs to work with the Viking Shocks.
6. Sounds like you are ordering almost everything from the Steeda, "Stop the Hop" kit. Maybe just buy that and get the subframe support too.

I am not commenting based off personal experience with all the above (will be better able to shortly), but from doing a lot of research and talking to vendors. Good luck.

I don't think I would buy anything from that list. I have taken my stock GT to the local road course a few times and I'm the weak link. I don't think you will ever need any of those items, even on spirited drives on public roads.

the camber plates/arms, bumpsteeer and adjustable toe links really are helpful if you have issues once your lowered if during alignment it doesn't align to spec. I have these on my back burner list in case i have alignment issues, which i don't forsee with a 1" drop

the bearing might be the only thing on the list i would consider. i'm considering it myself, have all the other parts you listed in some form or another.

Just upgraded my suspension this week only 2 days in and it's made a drastistic difference and i haven't even driven it hard, weather is too cold or wet at the moment. even with having the PP prior.

I think you should buy all of it. I mean, camber plates aren't really a big deal but... "Always go full racecar."

OP has ecoboost. I don't think BMR makes ecoboost springs.
