believe me i feel you on being broke, just take your time see what deals you can get from here or ebay before you jump the gun on a whole kit. i bought mine piece by piece.

True, but in the end I really dunno what to get and in what way it will affect my car since its a DD. Guess I will need to do more research :/

There is lots of information available in this forum including the long sticky ay the top about lowering your Mustang.

If you spend some time reading the threads you can learn a lot.

That's mostly a shock issue. Though you can easily make it worse with too much throttle either sort-of intentionally or sort-of because the car is already upset and your right foot moves a little from you being tossed around a little.

"Best" still comes around to what YOU want it to be "best" at. A setup that's been optimized for the 1/4 mile may well be worse than bone-stock OE at autocross or open-tracking (and vice-versa). Either way, your own tolerance for a somewhat firmer ride may enter in.

For a DD where you are definitely not going to do substantial lowering, shocks/struts are enough of a starting point for suspension tinkering. LCAs maybe, depending on whether you have a wheel hop issue (and if it's a mild case, GT500 LCAs may be enough). No need for much else unless your axle is already way off from being centered.

Give Sam Strano a call.

Thanks for your help everyone once again. I was looking around and found this:

Ford Mustang Wheel Hop Reduction Kit
PN: 401788

Seems easy enough, but its a pain to install - especially in cold weather.

As everyone suggested I may just go small for now and then go bigger later on. First shocks/struts and LCAs (since I already have them), then springs, and so on.

Going on that note, I may go with the roush shocks (stage 2) - saw they had pretty decent reviews and I could get them for pretty cheap.

i just installed eibach sportlines on my 05 gt and in my oppinion it totally changed the car!! so maybe look into that route too its cheap and u may like it!!

Well, this settles it...(hopefully)

I am picking up a Roush Stage 2 kit with everything for a very, very nice price from a friend ($600 for everything - only had it on his car for around 1000mi and he went to the stage 3 instead (had a S/C)).

Hope its all cut out to be :/ ...
