For warmer temps and climates. I like Continental ExtremeContact DW tires, Excellent tires for handling and longevity. Quiet too.

I aso use the DWS version for winter tires.

AMWill, do you have the FR pack? How does it ride on bumpy roads? I'm also interested in improving the handling on my Mustang (2006 GT) but the thing is I don't want my fillings loosened. I don't race it, but I love how a good car handles (think BMW M3). My mechanic says I need to replace both ball joints, and I still have the stock struts and shocks. 85,000 miles aint bad, right? So it's time to spend some of my hard-earned money on my suspension, so why not make it a little sweeter?

Hey Toad,

I personally do not (not yet at least) as my 2014 Track Pack 5.0 only has a few thousand miles and is still running the stock shocks and struts.

That being said, I have driven cars running that setup and absolutely love it.

It is a very good kit when you are looking for that "happy medium" feel and I think you will love it.

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions, I'm just a PM away!


- Will
