What suspension kit?

What is the best suspension kit to install?

-Saleen Racecraft
-Steeda
-D-Specs/Vogtland combo
-other?

I'll get the kit and Steeda front shock mounts anyway.

You might get better feedback if we knew how, where you drive your car, how much do you want to spend, and what don't you like about how your car handles now?

I like the steeda handling pack because it includes parts to correct the roll center of the front suspension

Otherwise, Steeda, Roush, FRPP, Saleen are all reputable companies and are worthy upgrades.

If I do remember correctly, the Saleen kit did not come with a rear sway bar.

I just installed my Steeda Sport Springs and Tokico D-Specs this past weekend! It feels like I'm riding on rails! Steering is so much more responsive, the ride quality actually improved, and the stance is great!

Next up will be the FRPP Sway Bars.

Just ordered Saleen Suspension Kit and Steeda Front Strut Mounts. The ride will be better for sure and Steeda Mounts allow 1 degree camber too... and finally, I want to get rid of that front clunking!

Here's my setup:

-Tokico D-spec
-FRPP Springs
-FRPP Sways (set on medium)
-Steeda Adj. Panhard Bar and Brace
-CHE LCA and UCA(adjustable)

Parts waiting to install:
-Steeda Bumpsteer Kit
-Steeda FCA relocation kit
-Steeda LCA Brackets (might return for BMRs)
-Steeda G-trac brace
-Camber Bolts

With the current parts, the car feels amazing. There is little body roll and nose dive has decreased a ton. The car is begging for some real tires. I've got that covered and will be running Kuhmo MX's in 275/40/18 all around. I chose the FRPP parts because they are designed to work together.

Saleen, Roush and Steeda all about 1" Eibach Pro kit and Ford's FRPP about 1.5".

I have just installed the FRPP, and it rocks. Very impressed, ride quality is good and through the twisties traction, grip and everything has improved massively. Wheel hop has dropped as well

Only other mod I have is 20inch Foose wheels with BF KDWs

I have ordered the Saleen kit and have another post where I am going to describe my installation work. I really don't know how good the kit is but it has to be better than stock. Saleen racecraft has been known for good suspensions in the past so wish me luck.

Good luck but as posted above you need to buy the swaybars seperate.

The Saleen kit should be a quality kit other than that though.
