How much would a 1 inch drop for a 94 gt help for handling. I ask thins because my mustang and I assume others, cannot handle well at high speeds. Any other mods out there to help handling?

strut tower brace, subframes, springs, shocks and struts, there's a bunch of other suspension parts that could put you into debt real quick (believe me, I know :P)

Those that I mentioned are prolly all you need for a street car, plus some nice control arms if you bring it to the track.

You won't notice much with a 1 inch drop. I got a 1 1/2 drop and I can barely tell the difference.

Peace

if u are building an everyday street car then a 1" drpis fine. it all depends onthe spring rate u get. i know h&r springs have different rates. also think about a poly bushing kit.

Mine's dropped an inch and a half. I noticed the difference. Aftermarket sway bars would help for handling. Big fat ones. Springs too.

a tubular k-member and a better rack and pinion can't hurt
