Yup, I ordered a full suspension kit from Eibach, which included matched springs, shocks/struts, swaybars (front adjustable ) and all hardware. I also installed a pair of GT500 mufflers. The car is transformed. Handling is great and the sound is amazing. I forgot how cool owning a muscle car could be.

TheCPE is infamous around these parts
Good stuff, the stock mufflers are absurdly quiet, the gt500s sound great!

You did the right thing. I test drove a 2012 5.0 and my impression was that it was a pretty good vehicle overall, classic good looks, decent interior and power but too much body roll and dive. The Mustang is a good platform, it just needs some work in the handling department.

It's night and day on the handling for sure. And the package was really nice... Very complete. It will be interesting to see how it holds up with some of my more exotic car friends, considering the weight of the car.

Did I mention I'm still smitten with this thing? It's a FORD of all things!!!
