Bilstein vs Bulit suspension

Bilstein vs Bulit suspension
My car sits low in the back end. It is a 97 mustang GT. When I push the rear end down, it goes down and comes up a little. Like it doesn't have the "umph" it needs to get back up. I assume it is time to replace the struts and springs. I dont know which go in the front, shocks or struts, but I am planning on buying the Bilstein pacakge on stangsuspension.com.
I was wondering how this will effect my handling. I rode in my buddy's Mach 1 and his car handled corners like 2000 lb. import. I mean, no body roll at all! It was like the car was stuck to the road. Will that happen with package? How will this brand hold up with AWFUL roads in northern VA and Washington DC? Any input on this subject would be great.
Thanks

Wow if your 97 still has stock struts and shocks its definately time to change. Billstein are some of the best you can buy and i definately suggest them if you can afford them. Add some H&R springs and your car will feel like a new animal. I went with Tokico shocks/struts and steeda springs and the before and after is just amazing.

Sagged springs happen all the time. Most of the time theyre caught before they get to sagging really bad, they tend to break before they sag. At any rate, depending on which Bilstein setup youre going with it should be like 100000000000% better than factory. I like Koni's better personally but Bilstein is a very reputable company.

Are there any other suspension setups that will do what I need it to do without spending $800? I want to eliminate body roll and have that "stuck to the road" feeling to my car. I have many other things I'd like to do to it, so if I can do this job for less, please let me know.

Will that work? I mean, I'm a firm believer of you get what you pay for and that price seems awfuly low. What kind of improvements will I see if I get the Bulit kit? Will they hold up with the terrible roads of this place for longer than a year?
