Kirk! We're under attack!! Suspension help.

[RedHawk]

Time to upgrade Suspension and and ready to shell outbthe dough.

Hey CR owners I'm fairly new to the club and I am thoroughly enjoying the ride, well not exactly.

When cruising I'll see a bump coming and its like a scene from Das Boot where they have to brace for a depth charge or better yet when Kirk and the crew have to brace on the bridge for a Klingon attack. I come upon the bump and grit my teeth and squint my eyes and bam!. I quickly take crude inventory of whether I see parts flying off from the rear etc... Its even worse when I have a passenger.

Anyway I have been reading any thread I can find on the subject and I have narrowed it down to the solution. I just need some final advise as to any reccomened specs and or missing items.

Current set up.1997 CR
*mustang 2 Front year? and 8.8 rear. Pictures attached.
*351W. 15"with avon 245 and 295.Love the avons
* 11" wilwood front brakes installed and drums on the back.
*Front sway bar no rear.

I want a hybrid ride with 30% track time and 70% street. When on street I am not just drag racing but taking corners too and of course cruising. I also want to hopefully bolt on and go.

What I know or think I know is the following:
I want the best quality for performance. Price is secondary or not a major concern.

*Install QA1 2 way adjustable coilovers in the rear with what lb spring 250-300lb? Should I leave spring that is currently installed? (some have mentioned that here)
*Replace front A arms with tubular but what kind Heidts, as already mentioned I have a wilwood front setup? So many options my eyes glaze over. I want the best. QA1 adjuatable coil overs in front? Spring rate front?
*FYI, Phase 2 I plan on upgrading to Ididit steering column and steering gear for more precise input.
*Not an expert at all so anything else I should do on this first phase or things to be aware of like replace bushings, fabrication(I will but would prefer not to have to weld brackets?)

P.S. Just want to send a shout out to Texas Snake.This forum has been very helpful in that I lost a spinner awhile back and Texas Snake came to the rescue.

Thanks!!
