The GT500 does have slightly upgraded suspension. But if you want a "better" suspension, I would suggest Roush, FRPP, Steeda, or Saleen kits.

Agreed, at least go with the FRPP.

The set up on the GT 500 probably compensate for the heavier engine package as well which likely would not suit the NA 4.6L 3V motor package.

It's my understanding that the gt500 suspension will actually raise the GT because of the lighter weight.
