GT500 Suspension, yay or nay?
Local shop here that is well known Mustang shop is selling:
- Shocks, struts, springs, panhard bar, control arms, & upper strut mount plates from 08 GT500 for $200.
Would there be any fitment issues for the V6 and is this worth the upgrade for our car?
btw, I don't plan to get aftermarket suspension setups near in the future, just curious if these would make any difference also doesn't mean I am getting them.

I wouldn't get it. That suspension is designed and tuned specifically for a GT500's weight and balance. Our engines are lighter than their v8's, so putting that suspension on your car will upset the balance of your car's suspension. It's like wearing expensive clothes that are several sizes too big. Sure, they're better quality and more comfortable, but they don't fit you.
