The big Question is – which aftermarket front subframe? I do want to go to an aftermarket subframe to get: - Better suspension geometry
- Rack and pinion steering (powered) – must be front steer not rear steer
- Sway selection beyond a 1 size fits all
Still to be decided are: - Brake size – 13” or 14”
- Coil over’s or Air suspension – I want some ride comfort and a reasonable amount of suspension travel (based on reading David Pozzi’s site and the threads here)

HBRod, first, Welcome to Lateral-g! This site can be a great place to meet new people.
Our front clip definitely meets all of the criteria you have posted above. It was designed from a 'clean sheet' and is manufactured completely in house at our Sacramento, CA factory. There are two different spindle/upright options for street cars, four different coilover shock options (plus two air options), set rate or adjustable splined anti-roll bars, and a plethora of options to fine tune a system that's right for you. We also have a complete rear suspension system and subframe connectors to tie it all together.
You can find a quick run-down on the front end
HERE and go into more detail with the buyers guide available
HERE.
Based on what you describe, it sounds like you want a car very similar to
THIS ONE.

Thanks for putting in a good word, Greg!
Glad to hear that you are enjoying your Mustang.
Many people aren't aware that Chris Alston has been involved with handling style race cars for a long time; he actually built Trans-Am cars for his brothers all the way back in the 70s!
