Those that have them, how are they for ya? I have no suspension mods yet, but these could be the first. Are they suitable for Daily Driving yet hook at the track?

I have them. They are nice, but I wouldn't make them your first suspension mod. If you haven't done anything to suspension, this is what I would do, and in this order. This is all my opinion. I am no professional.

Shocks/Struts

I've picked them first because I am so undecided on the springs/struts. I really don't want the car lowered much. If lowered at all, I would like the MACH 1 suspension which only drops 1/2"-3/4". I also hear such good things about the bilsteins. Trying to read up on it, but its not clear to me yet. It's driven to work a couple days a week, plus I'd like to go to the track a few times a year for fun.

They will help you will traction issues at the track. I dont think they'd have any negative affect on daily driving.

wait for tom to chime in, hes the resident suspension guru.

Thats a good starting point: add a strut tower brace (I noticed a diff. when I had mine installed), lightweight K-member, then your Stang will handle like it should have when it rolled off the assembly line.

If you don't want to drop too much go with the bullit kit. Everything else will drop you 1.5 inches or so. I have the Steeda upper/lower aluminum control arms. They were easy to install and made a huge difference in off the line traction. The ass end plants harder.
