Suspension kits for GT's
Ok, heres the deal. I'm looking for an entire suspension kit with the main focus being road driving performance (not drag), and bang for the buck. I do understand that most kits lower the car, which is fine. but Ido not want to lower it more than 1-1.5 inches. I plan on doinga chin spoiler and am currently running the pypes mid muffler system, so too low is not ideal. Also, by lowering the car too much I'd have to get into camber/caster angles and all of that stuff which I do not really want to get into if I could avoid it. Does anyone know of any kits which I could take a look at?
If anyone is familiar with the ford racing bullitt kit for 94-04 mustangs, thats sort of what I am looking for. I had it on my 98 and loved the way the car handled. I know that the current mustangs suspension is more complex, but if i could get away with doing just shocks/struts, lowering springs, and a front and rear sway bar id be a happy guy.
Thanks for all of the help.

RE: Suspension kits for GT's
If you liked the Ford stuff before why not again?. BTW the Eibach Pro-Kit and Roll-Kit are the same springs and bars FRPP sells. Everyone likes the Tokico D-Specs for shocks.If you can get a ride in the Shelby GT its the same parts (Except it has shocks that are more harsh).

I would go with the Steeda low drop springs (forgot the real name). Tokico D-Specs and Spohn, BMR or Steeda LCAs and Pan Hard Rod. I think they should both be adjustable so you can adjust your pinion angle or camber??? One of those things. RealSpeed can hook you up man - just talk to them and stop being a wimp.
