Default Suspension upgrade

I was wondering when a good time would be to change the shocks and struts.. I got 60k miles on the old stang, is it time to change them out? I found a good suspension kit for a really good price, its the FRPP one, its got a bigger sway bar and springs too. will i feel a big difference between it and stock?

FRPP is the worst suspension package for the mustang, you will feel an extremely huge difference though in both handling and ride comfort.

Other than that if you push your quarter panel or fender down as hard as you can and the car goes down once and then up again and stops movement at that point you don't need new shocks. I really doubt you need a replacement at just 60k miles.

what do you want out of your car? is it a daily driver and all you care about is better street handling, less dive, and less wheel gap? then all you HAVE to do is springs/dampers. plenty of guys who have done just that on this forum and are completely happy with the results.

if you want to take it to the track then you probably want to plan it out a bit more and do some research. go to the handling section and there are plenty of people there that will help you spend your money!
