Default Roush Suspension for 2010 GT

Hopefully some of you Roush guys can help me out with this one...

I'm looking for a quality suspension kit and have heard great things about what Roush has done with their kits. When I was looking at roushperformance.com however, there are two kits listed for the 2010's. There is the Roush Complete Suspension Kit and the Roush Stage Three Suspension Kit. The only difference I could really see was that the Stage 3 kit claims to account for the RoushCharger's weight? Either way, theyre both about the same price and I cant decide on which one to choose for my 2010 GT! Can anyone help me compare these two packages and pick the right one for me?

I have the Roush stage 2 suspension and am very happy with it. The stage 2 handles very well out of the box and is a complete solution. It doesn't get too bouncy and it isn't too stiff for a daily driver. I have driven with a car full of adults and haven't bottomed out the suspension. The ride is very similar to stock, just lower and less body roll. The shocks are well siuted to the springs and the smaller bumpstops do a good job of soaking up impacts.

I wouldn't get the stage 3 unless you are planning to supercharge the car and need to compensate for the extra weight. I know the Stage 3 kit lowers a little less in the front and the front sway bar is solid, not hollow like the stage 2 bar.

I got my suspension off ebay for about $975 shipped. Check there for good deals.

I would guess that they just eliminated the 'stage 2' designation. The only real difference between the two is that the stage 3 is balanced for the additional weight of the supercharger upfront. I spent about 15 minutes on the phone with Evan at Roush before choosing them over FRPP/Steeda. Give them a call and ask questions.

I had the 'stage 3' suspension installed (at their installation center in Livonia) back in September and am very happy with it. The handling is great and the ride is alot better than I expected. In fact, when I had Brenspeed install a saleen s/c in October, they even commented about being impressed with the way it handled.
