I'm looking to upgrade this lackluster stock 2012 V6 base suspension. Does the 05-09 GT suspension fit on the later S197 cars? I found a set on newtakeoff.com from the previous GTs and was curious if it's a direct fit.

It will fit I'm sure but I don't think it is an upgrade. I thought the 2012 had several suspension upgrades compared to prior years? And since it is set up for the heavier engine up front you will see the front riding higher - at least that has happened when 2005-2009 cars have put the GT springs up front -

They seem to make different part numbers for 11-12 compared to 05-10 on some suspension parts

Why don't you order new suspension parts?

Is it rolling out of the corners, or diving into them? I have the GT suspension on my
2009 V6 but have no comparison as I haven't driven a stock V6 or a GT yet.

Don't bother

research what lack lust you have under there now.
Visit the dealer with some calipers and
do some sway bar measurements comparing
the 2011-12 to the 05-10 GT suspension parts.

05-10 Rear GT sway = 20mm
05-10 Front GT sway = 34mm.
See what you have now or look for the 2012 mustang
specs and compare them to the 05-10 specs.
The mounting points are the same.
It just might not be an 'upgrade' to do so.
I would not bother with the 05-10 Gt springs on your 2012 V6.
