I have an 06 gt, where did you get your handling pack installed, and was it worth it. My car is a fair weather driver and some time autocross.
Thanks,
Doc

I installed my suspension by myself without any real problems or any help. I have the Roush stage 2 suspension but the install would be the same. I just used a floor jack and a couple jack stands I think. Do you not have a place to do the work or not confident that you could do it? I am sure it is worth it to get a suspension upgrade, but shop around a little and do some research to see if the Ford Racing on is the one you want. I know the Roush Trak Pak suspension just got lowered in price, just a couple hundred more than the Ford Racing kit. It doesn't come with sway bars, but you could do them later. I guess it depends on how much you want to autocross and how much you want to spend.

Between 3 - 4 hours labor charge plus an alignment. Those rear stabilizer links are a bitch to put together!

i put the ford racing handling package on my mustang in like 2 hours

simple tool box tools nothing special just tare your tire off, and get your elbows dirty put it back together with new parts. do one wheel at a time so u can see how it goes back together if needed. after i did mine i went and had it alignment, everything ended up being perfect except camber.

grab some camber boltz like 40 bucks in stall as the top bolt on your strut and that will fix camber. its cake dude. i fully support do it your self installs. i plan on getting a supercharger in a few months and ima install that myself. there are alot of HOW TO videos out there look around.

I had the dealership do mine, that is where i get all my work done, Watertown SD Ford is fantastic with me. I get to help and watch, cost me $240 and another $35 for the alignment.

Wow Farmer help too? They don't have liability laws there or they just don't care? I took my other car in to check the ac and they said I couldn't touch it because they didnt want me getting hurt or injured...funny I have built my car from the tires up... Anyways enough thread jacking.

I support diy as well, but if you are faint of heart then it shouldn't cast you more than a couple hundred bucks. Make sure you get an alignment though like these other guys have or you will go through your shoes real fast...
