Default GT500 suspension whats it worth? also will it fit

OK will the complete suspension off an 2007 GT500 fit a 2009 v6? if so is it worth $475 for everything. that includes shocks, struts, sway bars ft and rr, lower control arms, springs and 8.8 3.31 gears? I know the gears wont fit as mine has a 7.5 I think. but everything elses should right? need answers quick if so I can decide if to buy this or let it pass. also how much better will my v6 handle with stock GT500 suspension?
Thanks Jeff
for those that seen my suspension upgrade plans in the v6 general section I posted this here hopeing for quick acurate reponses.

If you put a GT500 front suspension in a V6 the front end will sit much higher than it does now because of the lower weight on the front end from the 6 compared to the iron blocked and blown 5.4 L engine.

I would let it pass. The springs will raise the front and probably the rear too. With the stock rear springs my GT500 sat 3/8" higher in the rear than my stock 05 GT. The rear sway bar is probably too large and there are better struts and shocks.

Just adding a set of GT sways bars would be a good start on your V6. I saw a set on eBay for less than $130 delivered.
