i would recommend cc plates. are you installing h&r super sports?

i rolled around for awhile without the x2 balljoints and bumpsteer kit and the ride was a bit harsher and i noticed a bit of bumpsteer. i later installed the two and the car felt so much better. no more bumpsteer and a smooth ride.

If you go with super sports, you will want to have aftermarket shocks and struts and also cc plates at least. They drop the car a lot and you will have a poor ride quality and uneven tire wear without the additional parts and an alignment afterwards. As far as the bumpsteer goes, it will drive better with it, but you can probably get by without it. Before I did my suspension, I went through this thread

http://mustangforums.com/forum/4-6-m...uspension.html

and learned a whole lot. Read this post by oxford and then come back with any questions you still have.
