Default Gt suspension Without Shocks?

I got offered GT Front ad Rear Sway Bars and Some GT Springs for 100 bucks. Is this worth it? Am I going to need shocks?

Why would you want the springs?

The sway bars are worth getting though.

Yep, the GT take-off F/R sways are out of this world.
Put Poly Bushings in as well for the ultimate experience...

And stronger U bracket for that front sway bar.
Even though I assume you're not road racing on the streets, the stronger bushings mentioned above, will put more stress on those cheap factory brackets.

The rear springs are the same, so nothing gained there. The front springs are a little softer on the V6.

The best part as mentioned are the sway bars indeed
