Question SUSPENSION ?'s for 07 GT

Ok guys! I'm not a newbie by far to the mustang world because it's all I think about. However, when it comes to the suspension, I'm clueless. I want to know exactly what makes the suspension of the car. As in shocks, springs etc. if thats even part of the suspension. The only thing I've done to my 07 gt is put H&R springs on it to lower the car. My other mods are SCT tune to 93 octane, cool air intake, under drive pulleys, long tube headers, x pipe and slp mufflers. If anyone could help me with this I'd really appreciate it because i hope to make my car handle better when I have more power at the wheels. Thanks.

"Suspension" includes everything that connects between the body/chassis and the wheels. Even the rear axle itself, though most people probably don't think about axles being anything but part of the powertrain.

"Handle better"? This can mean different things, so can you narrow this down a bit? As in what do you want it to do better than it does now, or not do that it does do?

I want it to ride smoother as in not so bumpy. It rides smooth enough with 20's on it, but when i put more horsepower into it i want it to handle like a dreaming as in cornering, handling bumps on the road for every day driving. That sort of handling. It's a 4 year old car so i figured upgraded shocks, but i dont know what brand i should go with or understand specs about shocks.
