Suspension Suggestions????? 2000 GT
SO the 2000 Mustangs suspension is a little too rough riding for my tastes and I want to tone it down so it rides more like a convertible should and not the race car it feels like.
Any suggestion on shock/strut/Spring replacements I could do???

][It would help if you told us what springs/shocks/struts are currently on the car.
If you're saying the stock suspension rides too rough, I can't help you because I think my H&R Supersports and Tokico Illumina 5 ways set to 5 front and 3 rear ride just fine. Maybe you can find a 1976 Bicentennial Edition Cadillac Eldorado Convertible instead.

Tis not a stock system... not sure what is on it, as I only bought it last week. Was just looking for other options to smooth out the ride. Right now one little bump feels like I hit the biggest pot hole on the planet

I agree that it will be rather hard to help you much without knowing what is on your car now.
Smooth ride is also a completely subjective attribute, especially among performance enthusiasts.
That being said, I could suggest a set of Ford C-springs(or Bullitt/Mach1 springs) along with a set of adjustable struts/shocks. This would provide a decent compromise between handling and ride. Plus the ride height would still be around 3/4" lower than a stock GT.

I bought the car used so I don't know everything on it. I discover it as I modify or fix something here and there.
The U&L CAs are dirty but they look similar to the J&M ones on American Muscle, SO I am going with those being J&M.
Shocks I see no label, struts the same
When I hit a bump these things go WHACK, like I hit a 2 ft deep pothole.
You feel every nook and cranny of road imperfections. I just want to tone it down a bit.
