[QUOTE="RIO RED SNAKE, post: 15796309, member: 80138"] Congrats on the purchase, I have personally used 2011 struts from a PP 11-12 car and ran FRPP C springs (or could of been b I forgot) from a GT (same for a GT500 just different weight in the beak but makes it sit perfect) and it handles a hell of a lot better, you will need a panhard bar and some rear control arms upper and lowers to get the pinion angle correct when you lower it...but I would run 11-12 GT500 PP struts/shocks and then pick whatever lowering springs you desire. I Strongly do not recommend Coil overs unless you want your refined Shelby to sound and ride like a old hatchback civic... Enjoy the car you are going to love it even more once dialed in. 13/14 GT500 blower swap, 13/14 injectors, heat exchanger and on stock pulley you will make over 600 to the wheels with matching TQ... doesn't sound like much but night and day over stock car would lay rubber into 4th on the stock goodyears.
