Well now that I got the tune up out of the way and the car is running great, its time to make her ride as smooth as possible. My question to you guys is what shocks/struts/springs/quad shocks etc would be best for the smoothest ride. We have a lot of pot holes and crappy roads around here, and my suspension setup is just terrible and worn out as it is now.

Also, what would be a good radiator, I think mines on the way out and I would rather replace it along with the hoses, before it does.

Also, does 200 dollars for install on the suspension+radiator sound reasonable? With my back being all messed up I am not gonna be able to do the work. Let me know, thanks guys.

Looking for the smoothest ride/best handeling for a reasonable price.

I am not 100% concerned about the 1/4mile strip as this is my daily driver. Once this is done, comes the h/c/i. I will keep everyone updated and let them know how it goes!

I like Eibach sportlines with poly uretehane bushings, if you want a smooth ride get the whole poly kit

mjr good to see you around, ive been really busy lately. I don't think autozone, carquest, or orileys has monroe's. My question is how much of a difference will shocks struts springs etc really help me. I mean in general do 5.0s ride really rough? Lately I have been test driving new cars, and driving my girlfriends 2005 dodge neon and I know its slow as all hell, however it handles decently and rides very very well. I would love for the stang to ride like that. I mean the stang drives smooth, but as soon as you hit a bump you really really feel it.

Let me know what you guys think I should do, and you know I always appreciate links. I don't care if its from summit or wherever because I will probably be buying it all online. Also price isn't a concern but I would like to keep it reasonable, ie no mm package for 5k lol.

Thanks
