Default Suspension mods

Anyone here consider modifications to the suspension of the 05 GT? If anyone is I would like to hear what you are considering doing and who's products you plan on using. The 05 car is such a quantium leap forward from the Fox/SN95 car in handling, but I believe Ford left more to be gotten out of the new chassis. I'm looking at the panhard, lower trailing arms, springs and shocks for a starting point. I have had alot of experience with the 3 rd and 4 th generation Camaro/Firebirds and the 05 reminds me alot of this type, I like the Mustang set up better, but believe the Mustang will take to the same mods as the F-bodies. I want to hear what your opinions are and what you would like to see done to improve these cars, where or not it is offered by the aftermarket. Thanks

Default RE: Suspension mods

Recently I was at a local mustang mod shop. They said it was a little early to do a high end lowering and handling system. At least if I were track bound. In their opinion proper adjustable struts weren't here yet, and custom build $$ would need to be spent. Since I am enjoying the 05 GT a lot as is, its not a great disappointment. I am watching the posts for info. though.
