fix for 06 GT's "jumpy" rear end

I'm looking for something that would be the most effective in eliminating silly rear-end jumps when going over bumps in turns. I've got some feedback on this before but the responses were all over the place and not quite specific enough...

What I'm really looking for is that one "thing" that's not too expensive and would preserve stock ride height and feel (as much as reasonably possible).

There is no such thing as "one thing" solutions, especially with Mustang's.

If you want something that will make the most impact, without changing ride height or ride quality, I would go with the Tokico D-spec shocks & struts.

Shocks & struts will get rid of your stock motorcraft shocks, and replace them with better valved, higher performance shocks. It will help absorb suspension movement, and improve rear end stability...

So you really think it's shocks, huh? You're probably right too, the only other car I felt similar "hopping" feeling is in an older VW GTI with a bad front shock. It's weird, almost as if there's a horizontal component to it, not just vertical...
