That's "Handling" as in cornering/turning/drivability, not "How the hell do I handle all these planned/dreamed of modifications."

Given these 3 variables:

Only what is available thru MustangTuning.com

What I could reasonably do by myself of with the help of one other person, in my driveway

A budget of say $300 - $400 on parts


What would your recommendations be on upgrade parts, for a 2005 GT?
5 Speed if that makes a difference.

 

RLCA's and a set of springs. You'll have to have the front springs mounted on the strut at a shop but that's all you'll have to pay for. Usually it's 20-50 bucks to load the struts with new springs. Install on both is dead simple.

EDIT: MT has just about nothing available for 05's. Bummer... step it up guys. Get the 05 gear on the site.

 

i would do the same, lower control arms and springs will make a world of differnece in handling.

 

MM SFC's, Steeda sport or Eibach pro- kit springs, and adjustable shocks and struts.
