Default Best Suspension kit?

I have a manual 07 mustang gt, and instead of adding to the power like most people start with, I'd rather try and fix the flaws in the car. I'd preffer getting a suspension kit since the parts are engineered together and I don't have the experience to try and pick and choose different parts my self.

At first I was looking at the roushe kit, but then I heard that the Saleen kit is even better for improving handling, on top of it being about half the price.

Does anybody have anything they can add on? Right now it seems like the saleen is the better choice, but I may be completely wrong. I'd appreciate any more information about these 2 kits, and any possible suggestions about other kits that may be better. Thanks a lot.


Also, kind of off topic, but I was wondering what you guys with 07 mustang gts use for your gas? I'm using 91 right now, and I'm wondering if I'm over doing it or thats what I should be using.[align=left] [/align]

Depends how much money you want spend and if you want to lower your car or not. Rousch, Steeda and Saleen are probably higher priced than others. What do want your suspension to do?

Steeda FTW. Unless you have retuned for 91 there is no reason to be burning it.

Eibach makes a pro systems plus kit that sells for around a grand and includes anti roll bars f/r, dampers and lowering springs. Don't know how it performs but looks like the most affordable option.

If you really want the car to handle well then there`s really no pre-packaged kits out there worth the money. You have to cherry pick through what the different manufacturers offer. I`ve been doing a lot of research on suspension parts and put together a package that should offer about the best street handling you would ever need. Follow this link. Look at the bottom of the page for the long post I put up. I`ve listed descriptions, part #`s and prices to help out.

https://mustangforums.com/m_934501/mpage_12/tm.htm

This is not a cheap set up though. It`s about $2015.00 in parts, but will drastically improve your handling and launch. I ran this parts list by two very good race chassis builders and they both liked it. Check it out and see what you think.

I bought the Roush kit, mainly because my Ford dealer had it in stock, and offered it to me for the same price as you US boys pay, and no shipping!!
I can't complain, its a very good kit, the car has very little body roll, and a decent ride.
