Might be able to get one for a good price for an 04GT. I know feel is very subjective, but how much stiffer is the ride. For reference, I have ridden in an S2000, G35, C5, and Boxster S (all stock). I consider the ride in these cars firm and not too stiff. Can anyone with the MM starter kit in their car and who has ridden in any of the listed cars share their thoughts.

The Stang Suspension site lists the HR racesprings as F750-850 R260-280 which seems way stiffer than the stock springs F450 R210 or the Bullitt set up F600 R250. I wonder if its too stiff for a daily driver.

I was planning on the Bullitt (M-5400-A) setup until the MM starter kit came up for a good price. Besides being cheaper, does the fact the Bullitt kit includes sway bars and the MM kit does not make a difference (do the stiffer springs negate the need for the swaybars)?

Thanks
 
Is the MM starter kit used? Bad idea to use used suspension or drivetrain parts.

Anyway, MM quality is excellent.

You are smart to be concerned about the ride harshness, this can make your Mustang unpleasant to drive if it is too extreme.
 
The parts are new. I agree with you about buying used suspension parts.

All the posts I've read here, at the Corral, and at Corner-Carvers say the MM stuff is good so I feel comfortable with the quality of the pieces and that they will work as intended. What I'm a little hesitant about is whether the ride will be too stiff for me. I realize I'm the only one that can answer that question but I was hoping others with the kit had driven the cars I mentioned and could offer comparisons. If, for example, someone with the MM kit had ridden in an s2000 and said the MM kit "is way stiffer" or "not as stiff" that would be helpful.

Thanks
