Hello all,

I'll be getting my 2005 convertible v6 in 2 weeks and I live in Beirut.

Our roads are crappy as hell, very bumpy, and the following link would give you an idea:

Is the default suspension model good enough for such roads or do you recommend I install something else? Please keep in mind that I'm a total car noob

Much thanks,

You should be fine using the Mustang with the stock suspension, there are equally bad roads in the US that Ford had to consider. The V6 convertible is not known for its handling, but an aftermarket suspension will usually have a rougher ride than stock. No companies that I know of are making kits for more ride comfort or durability. You can get a strut tower brace and maybe a K-member brace to stiffen up the chassis a little, Steeda makes one to stiffen the rear by the trunk opening.
