Lets see, I have V6 struts and V6 springs up front with
a 34mm GT sway bar with poly bushings.
And Roush rear lowering springs and matching Roush rear shocks
with a 20mm GT sway bar with poly bushings also.

Its not book learning, its actual install and see how it performs.
I would be interested in a few track laps against the OPs full GT
suspension on his V6. That would tell the truth.
If the OP has what he wants and it happy, thats all that matters....

some would argue that mismatching springs front and rear and lowering just the rear would throw off the ride also. thats why i went with the 4 way adjustable system with matched spring rates. but like you said its all a matter of preference. it would be nice to see pics of both of your cars. i always find it funny when people join these forums and don't show off the rides after all of the hard work put into them. i mean im on more web sites for product placement and been in three mags ( one the featured car) and i still like to see my car?

show um off you have worked hard on them i know i have!

I guess 'matched' suspension components are
better than mis-matched but I am doing it in
stages as $$ permits. You can bet that Roush
front struts and springs are next on the list.

The changes are constant and its hard to keep
up with current pics. I have a few but since the
weather has turned bad, I have not gotten any
current digital pics.

The last one is a 'before' pic.

it is amazing the difference between 1 and 5 it takes a while but the end result is yours and i would have it no other way. i like building my own not something store bought. i mean where is the fun in that anyway.

looks nice for a red car, keep the pics coming

Initially I was planning on installing GT take-off shocks/struts/sway bars on my V6; I got ahold of all the parts for free! Well, the rear springs are the same anyway, but I later found out the free springs I got were cut off. With the extra weght on the front of my V6 due to a FMIC and supercharger, I wanted a little more spring stiffness up front, and the GT springs would have done that.
Eventually though, I went with aftermarket/lowering springs (Steeda sports) and adjustable shocks/struts, along with the GT sway bars.

Keep in mind, that if you are using lowering springs, eventually, the stock/take-off struts/shocks will wear out very quickly (10K miles or so), and your ride quality will suffer.

But, to each his own! Do what works for you, and good luck!!!
