I have car 1209 with a Roush 427r. I have done a ton of upgrades to the car since I got it 3 years ago. The top mechanical/functional would be 4 shocks, camber plates and 275lb front Hypercoil springs, Improved racing oil thermostat, aluminum gas tank, remote reservoirs and upgrade the stock steering with beefier components. The top cosmetic upgrades would be, carbon fiber dash, autometer gauges with LED lighting and upgraded switches, replace incandescent idiot lights with LED's, radiator protector, pusher fans, hurst short shifter with ball and ceramic coating.

What shocks/coil-overs do you all recommend upgrading to?

Default Shocks, Springs and Camber plates.

For the front shocks I went with KYB 361005, I swapped out the springs for HYC-188B0275 Hypercoils. New saddles will be needed for the new springs. Stock saddles won't work. Also, I installed Camber Plates. Makes a big difference in the ride and handling.
