Default front suspension upgrades

Ok, so while I'm waiting out the winter up here in the northeast, I've been thinking about better handeling. I'd like to here what everyone else is doing about putting all those ponies to the floor. Or through the corners!
I'l probably end up with the total control power rack and pinion. I like the fact that their pump has adjustable pressure. So you can set it for the FEEL you're looking for. But what about their upgraded front suspension? I like the coilovers. But, all they are doing is beefing up the old design. Ok so they change a few angles, and move the ball joint alittle. But, it's not like they turned it into a MustangII front suspension. I like the convience of a Bolt-In, but is it worth it? A Mustang II kit is about the same price, yeah I know all the work to the front end. Cutting welding, bla, bla, bla. Thats a real pain in the butt. But, then at least you've got a racing front end. Has anyone looked at the kit from Fat Man fabrications? WWW.Fatmanfab.com It's a bolt in kit that looks like it's using struts. But I can't find a review on it.
Well anyway thats what we think about when you've got to take the winter off! lol Not to worry it'll be warm again soon and I'll forget all about the cornering. and concentrate on just going fast!!
