Best suspension mods for 2010 GT
So like so many other car enthusiasts before me I am balling on a budget. Looking for some recommendations for the best suspension mods I can make (besides tires because no ****) to my 2010 gt. Looking for the most bang for my buck. Car is my daily driver with some performance hp/tq adders (cai, SC, race exhaust) but the suspension is completely stock. I want to improve overall handling and being able to corner more aggressively and at higher speeds. I definitely want to lower the car to get rid of the 4x4 look. Thinking springs shocks & struts. Possibly subframe connectors or sway bars. Upgrade the pan hard.. Looking for suggestions. Let me know your set ups. What you’ve tried and liked or tried and hated. All suggestions welcome. Thanks in advance.

I'm a huge fan of the Ford Racing set up. You can get the whole package in one kit with the front struts already put together ready for simple bolt in with no spring compressor required. The street kit will lower the car and still ride decent while the track kit will lower the car and ride much stiffer. Don't go cheap and do just the springs with your old shocks. An adjustable panhard bar is a good idea but not really necessary.

Thanks guys. I know I can’t go wrong with steeda or the ford racing parts. Definitely want to do springs shocks and struts. Should I also upgrade the panhard bar so I know I will have a good geometry and wheel alignment? I’m also considering upgrading the lower control arms.

I've never added an adjustable panhard bar to my FRP suspension, just the one that comes with it and never had an issue. If you are really **** about the axle being dead nut straight, then get an adjustable one. Otherwise, you can probably live with the 1/8th inch or so off.
