OK give me time to put this storey into words. Its likely better when I tell the storey. I am not much for being wordy.

To recap this thread, My plan this winter being happy with the power (for now) but extremely disappointed with it getting it to the ground , I wanted a better handling Shelby, not a straight line rocket plush and fearful of bumps in the turns car!
so back on track... I ordered the rest of my suspension mods today, BMR Rear Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets, BMR upper control arm with poly bushing and bracket!
BMR is well known and respected, reviews have been very favorable for there suspension products with the s197 so I chose to take this route.
(Tip... Recently, American Muscle now sells most BMR suspension components and with there all included delivery price at the checkout, Canadians can take advantage of some great prices without fear of the dreaded duty charges)

So far I have installed....
1. Tokico D-Spec Struts
2. Ford racing K springs
3. BMR lower control arms (Poly Bushings)
4.Steeda adjustable panhard bar
5.J&M Camber plates
6.Hawk Ceramic brake pads front & rear

on the way
7.BMR lower relocation brackets
8.BMR Upper control arm (Poly Bushings)
9.BMR Upper control arm mount

That's it for the planned upgrades to the suspension, I'm hoping for a tighter handling, planted and well behaved ride, As you guys know it's hard to get the power to the ground with the stock suspension, let alone throw uneven surfaces and god forbid bumpy turns in the way. The suspension components attached to the live axle just plain sucks. Hopefully with the mods I have selected it will become a better handling Shelby!
Might even try autoX this year!
I will post my ride results if we ever see clear roads and warmer days!
Cheers
Mike

Not sure if you've already driven the car since installing the suspension components you've mentioned above BUT I went with the Tokico D-Spec on my Mustang - LOVE them. I'll never use anything else. You're gonna love it.
