heavyier duty suspension, not nessesarily performance stiffining though, just heavy duty. the heavy duty will be cheaper no doubt.

Some more info is needed. What size tires are on it and are they aftermarket rims?

Sounds like what my car was doing a while back. Turned out to be the shock mount blot was rubbing the lower control arm. I just put a few washers in front of the mount and it stopped.

truthfully, the Mustang Was Never intended to carry 4 people. The back seats are just there to help sell the car. The rear springs arent stiff enough to carry 4 people, and if they were your ride and handling would suffer. Its kind of a trade off, More capacity, or better driving.

Yea, I would quit driving that many people around. When I say I would, I mean I did.
