Is the $2500 for parts only or does that include labor? I would say for your goal of maximum performance it would seem like the rear 4 link & coil overs all the way around is where you will want to end up. It would be over budget to do front & rear. I have read in numerous suspension threads that the front is of more importance than the rear when it comes to the handling dept. So I guess you would want to concentrate your focus there. It would seem best to do this than try to do both with the given budget- Only later to end up removing parts that were a compromise to get where you ultimately want to be from a performance level. On the other hand, if you feel a leaf spring setup would satisfy your needs, this would allow front & rear to be taken care of. A quality set of front & rear springs (DSE, hotchkis/global west,etc) and a nice set of adjustable shocks would give you a very nice setup. It would be a step up from your current parts and you could keep the factory control arms and possibly do the G-mod. I am by no means a suspension guru, I just enjoy building/driving first gen f bodies. I'm sure others will add some very good advise. Glad you are getting the car back up & running.
