Default 2000 B&B Rebuild suspension question

For the suspension gurus out there. 2000 B&B Cobra with a 427 and 4-spd top loader. The Mustang Ranch in NV has tighter rear end than this car.

It's a blast to drive for sure but you better be paying serious attention or you'll find yourself in an ugly spot. I want to make it more driveable and stable.

I'm all in for a full rebuild on the suspension to include new uppers, lowers, coil overs, you name it. I'll be looking for a full set of new brakes to go with it too.

I've got a shop ready to do the work but would like to know what I should bolt onto this beast. The options are all over the map and I'm not an expert.

Anyone have experience with an older B&B build? It has a solid rear end and a mustang II front end. Summit tells me the "coil overs" that are on it right now really aren't "coil overs" but are actually import suspension struts - likely off of a smaller Mitsubishi or something from the late 90s.

It rides on 15 inch Compomotive 3-piece wheels.

Could someone point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thank You's right up front!!!
