I scratched the entire upgrade list. I was told the sportlines are a terrible option and "absurdly soft" and "riding on the bumpstops" by a major suspension tuner . . .

Now leaning towards the Vorshlag-Bilstein StreetPro Monotube Suspension Kit

FRPP K Springs or Eibach Pro-Kits??

I've never been a fan of mixing suspension components from different mfg's. Personally, I believe the suspension is a system and has to be dealt with as such, so one mfg's shock system is not likely going to be right for another mfg's spring rates and the same for sway bars. I still believe that no one knows more about this car than those who designed and built it, which would be Ford. All of that pointed me towards Ford's track suspension kit and it has worked out very well. For me. YMMV.

WhiteCobra - see post #14 - modernbeat (Jason) is the engineer at Vorshlag. Give him a call - he is great to deal with. You can't go wrong with Vorshlag, Cortex, Maximum Motorsports recommendations.
