Well..... usually I would ask what are your intentions with the car or what does the car do that you want to change suspension wise
But given you shopping list of parts you listed I doubt that would help so I will suggest a set of Moton Club Sports

Love your Steeda!!!
Off Topic question. Does your front splitter move up if you grab hold of it and lift - gently?
Mine does and I am not sure it should. I get about 1/2 inch movement up from the normal at rest position. I am big about no squesk, noises and unnecessary movement. Bugging me a bit. I would assume a higher speeds it would move from the force of the wind.
Sorry for the highjack.
My Steeda Q350 is a much shorter list than yours! Working on it though.
Nice list of mods and Great - Beautiful looking Stang!

I'm not sure I understand here - is that a shopping list of things you are thinking about buying or things that are already installed on the car.
I'm assuming its the later but not sure. If it is...and you don't like the way the car handles...then what does that say about Steeda...Hmmmm.
Get a set of sticky tires - that will change the handling in an instant. Something like Toyo R888 or Nitto NT-01 - RComps for the street.
If that doesn't do it then I suggest you buy a race car

Not sure I'd want to drive my NT01s on the street any more - they are now nicely worn down to the point so that only the two longitudinal grooves are left.
I was running with them on a damp track on Saturday and they are "exciting" in the wet, especially with the SC
