I would go with springs/shocks

I think the Koni STR.T shocks and Eibach Pro kit springs are a great bargain,thats what I'm running.

Dude, seriously forget about dropping it and go for some more muscle with a CAI and tune. It will seriously feel like a brand new car with the gains you will reach. Right now your stang is running down the road trying to breath through a straw, the stock intake is very restrictive. In the end...do what's gonna make you feel happy. That's what it's all about!
Cheers,
Andy
