I just bought my first 5.0 mustang, and am slowly starting to plan mods. I already have a b303 cam, which came with the car, and a Pro5.0 shifter and 24 pound/hr ford injectors. However, my concern is that the girl which sold me the car, really messed up the suspension. She put eibach sportlines on it, but left the stock struts/control arms. The car quite literally slams over bumps, drags the pipes across speed bumps, and generally rides like ass, however it does handle pretty good. Also, the back end of the car sits lower then the front. Do u guys think that new struts will help lift the car, and balance the ends, or should i shim the rear or get new springs/struts
Here are 2 pics to show it

1/4 window stickers add 100+ HP ATLEAST!!! Paint the hood, lose the stickers, and I'm sure the car will appriciate it enough for it to pick its' ass back up.

I have Bullitt Shocks, Struts, and Springs on my car and it lowered the car about 3/4" from stock which is perfect for the kind of roads around here!

Your stang sitting lower in the rear could be due to the spring isolators being worn out.
