Default Seeking Suspension Advice For Son's "06 WAR PONY

We are to this point in the design and buildup of my Son's WAR PONY!! We have the Steeda CAI W/92octane Brenspeed Tune& Zex NOS Installed, We have ready to install the Saleen H.O Supercharger , We are upgrading the Clutch to something that can handle 600+HP, 1 Piece aluminum DS W/Safety Hoops, Goodyear Eagle F1's, Steeda 3 point frame rail torque box support. We are looking for an aggressive street suspension that will lower the car and get traction to the rear end.(we would liketo go with one of the many kits that are offered through Steeda, BMR, Ford Racing or any of the others)Any advice is greatly appreciated!!
Thank You
Jeff T. & LCpl Jay

I sure hope you plan on some internals as well, or they will become EXTERNALS!

Well, it is well documented that I am a fan ofGriggs Racing suspension, but somethink it is over priced.

Worth it to me, as I am strongly considering an upgrade toSLA's up front. I amheading to their shop later this morning

Yes we are well aware of the internal problems!! We are eithier going to be rebuilding the factory motor with forged internals or we will be going with a stroker crate motor we haven't gotten that far yet!! We are not to worried about the motor as of yet because the Super Charger will not be installed untill the internals are done. That should be done during My Son's next Deploymentsometime the end of next year or the beginning of 2010. If he blows the motor on one of his leaves then I guess it gets new internals sooner LOL.
Thank You for the suspension source advice I will seriously look at it!! Price isn't really an issue if you get what you pay for!!
Again Thank You

Hey Jazzer are you running the Griggs Suspension on your Stang? If so which one? How do you like it? We are looking at theS197 GR40ST Ultimate Street Complete Chassis. Is there a suggested route that we could take to build this system up? or is it a better investment to buy the whole system??
Thank You For Your Support
