You need to give more details on what your goals are. Is this a street car? Drag? Daily driver? And what exactly is your budget? Don't be shy about money, none of us have any. lol.

Define your goals a little better. If you're looking to put down some decent 1/4 times, you money might be better spent into beefing up the rear to handle a set of slicks. But if you're just looking for a nice setup that is better than stock, I highly suggest the setup I'm running: Ford Racing B springs, poly isolators, and Tokico blues all the way around. This package cost me right at $515 to my doorstep. This setup performs well and easy to afford. My car is a daily driver and I wanted performance without it sitting too low. This setup gives a little drop, but not so much that you're scrapping everything or that you need CC plates. Good luck and keep us posted. Also look at www.stangsuspension.com , you will find that they have the best prices and their customer service is amazing.
