Just to clarify: My old 96GT was lowered with steeda springs and Koni shocks...ie. it wasn't stock.

Good to know, that gives me something to compare to. My 99GT had H&R Super Sports with the Bilstein Sports. I would prefer to not get quite as firm as that setup was.

Koni's are adjustable... They are not hasher, and in fact ride significantly better (I've run those the FRPP's, and D-specs on the Shelby I autocross).

Sending you a PM on part 2...

Thanks Sam. Are you using the Koni's with the FRPP springs on your SGT? I like the ride height with the FRPP springs but am curious how well they work together. Thanks again and for the PM.

We have 3 Mustangs I spend a lot of time in...

There is my best friend's Shelby GT (#450, had it since Feb of '07) and it's the car I've been autocrossing Nationally. It has Koni's on it, and it's very, very stock being it's setup for a stock class. Only the exhaust, alignment, front bar links and the dampers are not stock.

I have my '07 GT, which also has Koni's on it.

And my girlfriend Marcy has an '07 V6 we put GT Bars, springs and my OE dampers on.

Does anyone know anything about the whole discussion of the convertible handling pack vs the coupe handling pack? I've heard the sgt convertibles use the same as the coupes and that's about all I know.
