Default suspension question

I was looking at newtakeoff.com and saw that they had a base suspension oem stuff for the gt and i know this stuff fits on our 4.0's but i was wondering if its worth it? the package i was looking at is located below. any questions or suggestions are appreciated.

TIA

the take-off sway bars are a common mod with the V6 guys, but i wouldn't get te shocks and struts. but definately get the sway bars!

so shocks and struts are definetly not worth it? i dont even have a pp stang and im also pretty new at this . should i spend more money on different sway bars or should i just get the gt take offs? has anyone had troubles with the newtakeoffguys or are they a pretty legit site.

GT's are heavier than V6's so adding the GT suspension would not be a good fit for your car. Get an aftemarket set designed for the V6 such as Eibach, Steeda, or FRPP.

What exactly do sway bars do? Reduce body roll?
