:I,ve got my maverick to handle pretty good and it didn't cost an arm and leg. I put mustang 620 coils, kyb shocks, replaced lower control arm, upper ball joint and 1" sway bar with poly end links. For the rear I put HD 4 leaf spings from JcWhiteny 1" lowering block, gabrial shocks and 3/4" sway bar with poly end links. The alignment spects I used are 1 degree nagitive camber, 2 degrees positive caster, and 1/8 toe in this set up seems to work pretty good. With the positive caster this give you more feel with power steering.

.I agree with Toms setup. I've done the most of the same changes and you will see an immense change in the feel of the car. An additional change that can be done is the relocation of the upper control arm mounting as is done on Mustangs. If you have not done so already, 7" rims and 235/245-60-14 tire combo will add to the handling and without any clearence problems. Understand that the ride on less than smooth surfaces will deteriate somewhat.
