Just bought a Mach 1 with 68000 miles and I'm looking to upgrade the suspension. Only suspension mod it has are Eibach Sport lines that were on the car when I bought it, don't know when they were installed. I had them before on my old Mach and I'm most likely going to keep them. This will be a daily driven car so I'm just looking for the better ride. Looking to replace the following parts.

Tokico Strts shocks and sturts
M/M Caster Camber plates
Eibach Sport lines (need a new set?)
Steeda Bumpsteer kit
J&M UCA and LCA (non-adjustable)
McLeod Hydraulic Clutch Conversion Kit (hate the stock clutch feel)

Maybe
FRPP Aluminum Driveshaft.

Let me know what you guys think. Anything else that I need? Been out of the mod game for a while so I'm a bit rusted in my car knowledge.

Looks like some good mods. I myself have never gone for the upper control arms. Lower arms definitely. I vote for bilstein shocks and struts but tokico is a fine brand. If they're good enough for ford to put them in stock, they must be pretty good. Never thought about doing a hydraulic clutch. They work real well on the 05s and up so they probably do well on these. I like the idea of aluminum drive shafts. Had one on a previous GT. I'll probably get one for my mach eventually.

look into that hydraulic kit more, I wanna say theres issues with mounting it on the 4 valve cars and also complaints about it leaking (its been a long time since I looked into this so things may have changed)

Thanks for the info, I'll look into. Just a fan of that hard clutch.

What did you end up getting? I'm curious because I just did control arms and sway bars. The car is definitely feeling more connected to the road. Less rubbery over bumps and less body roll.
