Default beef up suspension

hey all,

I want to beef up my suspension. I have a 2005 v6...I noticed on Ford's website for the mustang the only apparent suspension difference is that the GT has a rear stabilizer bar (is this the only difference/did I miss something?)

I'd like to get a rear stabilizer bar, but I don't know if this would be a good investment, or if there is something better (and I don't mean outrageously expensive).

Also, why would a rear s-bar be needed if there's already a Panhard? Do they control different motions?

Last, what are upper control arms? Are they worth the moola?

thanks

yes,yes,yes and yes panhard bar stopes the side to side axle movements rear sway bar helps bodyroll (when cornering) Uppercontrol arms, lower control arms are worth the month if you can find them at a reasonable price. Steeda has the most 05+ suspension parts availible right now, be forewarned it is steeda so the prices are a little higher then normal, but you get what you pay for.
