That's true. But that won't lower the car, or cut how much it rolls or dives. It will slow down the *rate* of the roll and dive, but not the amount of it.

Just remember that anyone with a 2011+ car will need to include the price of strut mounts or camber plates to facilitate the installation of the older strut design (the only way Koni STR.T come) in the car. Koni Sports come as direct fit for the 2011+'s but not the STR.T's.

And you do have to remove the front springs and all to change struts, at that point rears are easy. so *IF* you are leaning toward springs, it only makes sense to do them at the same time and save costs if you are paying for the install. But, if you are only going to change struts, well you absolutely don't need anything else (except in the case of the STR.T's on a 2011+ car).

When I said "that's what Brenspeed recommended" I was referring to the Ford Racing package Matt mentioned. Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks for the input. I was browsing around and think I will start off on the small side, see how I like it, and go from there. My build/wish/future plans list:
Steeda Sports (being that I run 20's already and it is a DD I dont want more than a 1''
drop) $275
Steeda PHB support brace $140
Steeda adjustable PHB $170
KONI STR.T front/back $290 and $160


for a grand total of $882 minus AM 6% discount = $830

Plus whatever the GT500 strut mounts are going for.
