RE: Coilovers vs Shocks/Struts and Springs
Go coilovers. I have a V6, but I've added:
KYB AGX S/S
Eibach Pro-kit (horrible...stay away if you want a REAL sportscar)
Bullitt F/R swaybars
Kenny Brown STB and SFCs
Camber bolts from off-brand.
I think that is it for now. My car definitely handles better than stock. That being said, I do a lot of canyon driving for fun (I guess you could call it touge racing...in a Mustang lol) and the Eibach springs are horrible. I rode in Aereon's car with a full MM coilover set-up and it rode AMAZING. He had never driven on that rode before and from the passenger seat it seemed like the car was just planted 1000x more than mine. Go coilovers, you won't regret it, even if your car spends most of its time on the street like mine does.
