Default Buy the handling pack.

Cause it's awesome. The car is so mush more confidence inspiring. It tracks true, and you can feel the limit instead of wallowing around over it until you slide.

The ride is, "taut" to say the least. But not harsh. Braking is better. Launches are better. The sky is bluer. Your womans ***** will be bigger....

Well, not that last bit.

Thinking about it, i guess i really dont have the full official "pack". I had the upsized front sway bar on my build sheet from the factory so I added the springs right away from steeda for about 230. Just bought the dampers from late model restoration supply. They have the best price anywhere for 399. Of course you have to add the upper spring perches from the gt500 to make the perf struts fit a 2011, and they were 89, also from lmrs.

Since I'm buying piecemeal anyway I went with the steeda brand strut brace because I like the looks better than the ford piece. I never bought the new rear link bushes, but I think they're about 100. I dont think i have the upsized rear swaybar either, but ireally don't feel the need for these. I can do a controlled four wheel drift all day long the way I am.

I did all the labor myself, so factor that in if you don't have the tools, but I'd say I have 900 in it with all the shipping costs.

Why would you want just an oversized front sway bar and since when did Ford start offering that as a prebuilt option? Wouldn't that just induce understeer?

Ok, looking at the build sheet, I do have upsized front and rear sway bars. Says: "Upsized front stabilizer bar 3. Upsized rear stabilizer bar."

Now maybe there is yet a stiffer set that comes with the pp as a kit, but I'm deliriously happy with what I have.
