I am interested in improving the handeling on my 2000 GT 'Vert. I have good tires (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S) and shocks/struts (Edelbrock IAS Performers). I do not race the car and I still want a good ride. A Mustang shop locally suggested installing Eibach springs, I am assuming they were takling about the Sportline springs. Is there anything else I should consider, such as control arms? I also already have installed frame braces and shock tower brace. Any suggestions appreciated.

whenever you lower it you'll lose some ride quality, but it does increase the handling alot.. it seems like the more you lower it the more quality you're gonna lose

I agree with that , check out MRT for their springs too, I have the race set but I think in Ohio you may be better off with the street version they offer.
