    shelby charger suspension setup help

    Im looking at redoing the suspension on my 85 shelby charger. The suspension is all stock and 24 years old... I want the car to handle GOOD... Ive got about 800 to spend not including tires...

    I was looking at purchasing these:
    Front poly engine mount
    Passenger poly engine mount
    Rear axle to frame bushings
    Control Arm Bushings!
    Sway Bar Bushings!
    Front anti-sway bar?
    Rear anti-sway bar?
    Strut tower bar
    New shocks and struts (kind?)

    Is there anything else you guys can recomend that I look into to make my car handle?

    Thanks

    you didnt mention springs in there? all i did was put a set of civic coilovers on the front of my omni, fix the alignment, and now i can hang with my friends 87 carrera porshce? it does ride a little stiff, but i didnt have to add a bigger sway bar, does feel like it could use one in the rear or at least some stiffer springs back there.
