Suspension Suspension Overhaul

Hi everyone,

I'm planning a full suspension overhaul for later this year or early next year. Before I get in and replace, well, everything, I'd like some input on what Ford did right and what Ford did wrong, as I'm not a fan of changing parts for the sake of changing parts. I want to make sure that there is a significant benefit in a change. I know I want to lower the car enough to remove the wheel gap and lower the center of gravity some. I want adjustable shocks/struts (thinking Tokico). I think lowering springs will be enough unless someone can make a convincing case for coil-overs. Outside of that, I'm looking at the works. Shocks, struts, springs, CAs, sway bar... you get the picture.

Some background:
'13 base GT, Brembo/Auto (400A/55D). no mods that will affect suspension work. My goal is to improve the handling of the car as I recently got into hitting the twisty turnies of mountain roads and canyon runs and want to keep up with some of the other cars in our group. I don't have the confidence level I'd like getting into some of those turns.

So what are your thoughts? I don't want to say money isn't an issue but I'm willing to pay more to get it right the first time.

tl;dr turn my GT into a Boss302

Thanks Husky. I'll give him a call. Education is the most important part right now. I need to know exactly what I'm getting out of the additions and why I'm putting them on.

One question, is doing your back end first getting your front end out of whack at all? I had always pictured on doing the whole thing in one go, but the backend really is what I want fixed most, outside of a general lowering of the car.
