I was looking at newtakeoff.com and saw that they had a base suspension oem stuff for the gt and i know this stuff fits on our 4.0's but i was wondering if its worth it? the package i was looking at is located below. any questions or suggestions are appreciated.
so shocks and struts are definetly not worth it? i dont even have a pp stang and im also pretty new at this :). should i spend more money on different sway bars or should i just get the gt take offs? has anyone had troubles with the newtakeoffguys or are they a pretty legit site.
GT's are heavier than V6's so adding the GT suspension would not be a good fit for your car. Get an aftemarket set designed for the V6 such as Eibach, Steeda, or FRPP.

Generally, yes, pretty legit, although they are like every other business of that scale, and make the occasional error and refuse to adjust it, even though acknowledged, admitted, and apologized-for:
Nutshell, I "won" a package on eBay, 120-somthing plus shippng of 45 or so. Very fast delivery from their Los Angeles area branch. sent OK calipers and brackets, RUSTY V6 DISKS. I complained, then very quickly they sent another pair of disks, GT this time, but RUSTY AND SCORED, obviously not the 5-mile-old disks they described. I complained, they said they'd send a good set from Fort Wayne, but never did, and stopped acknowledging my communications when the eBay resolution period ran out. I let them take advantage of my patience, but they still look like thieves to me. See the evidence at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/fyougit...7603826441123/
I'd stlll like those good disks, but I'm not going to pay for them twice.
As for the shocks, struts, springs, there isn't enough difference between GT and V6 items to make the swap worth the money or the effort. Sway bars from a GT will transform the feel of your V6, and are a simple enough upgrade to make it almost mandatory. Do it.
