Koni Adj. shock /struts, Steeda sway bars, BMR up/lower lca + phb, eibach sport springs. Makes for a enjoyable ride, least in my opinion.
If you're interested in a low dollar solution, find a takeoff GT500 24mm rear bar, perhaps give it some stiffer aftermarket links, and leave the stock front bar. Combined with a non-staggered tire setup, I found understeer to be greatly reduced with this setup. If you find the car is more tail-happy than you would like, an adjustable front bar can always be installed later to tune the balance to your preference.The only other mod I'd like to do on the suspension down the road, is the Ford Performance front and rear sway bar kits
Bilstien dampeners, the Eibach springs of your choice (I prefer Sportlines), and GT500 strut mounts with the mount orientation arrows installed "backwards"
After that I would look at the Eibach/SPC lower control arms and Maximum Motorsport LCA relo brackets
RTR adjustable upper control arm (Whiteline works too) with the Whiteline or RTR mount.
Eibach/SPC adjustable panhard bar
Eibach sway bar kit
Notice there isn't a single traditional poly joint in the bunch. Stay far away from stuff like the BMR control arms if you want a complaint and controlled suspension. You do not see BMR in any form of road course motorsports and winning.
There is no better street/sport suspension for the S197. If I can help with blueprinting or parts, feel free to reach out via PM
Good looking car and nice suspension upgrades. You choose wisely.
Nice set-up!I use exactly the same setup except Rousch springs in place of Eibach. Fully adjustable LCA's/F/R swaybars; extra bracing; urethane everywhere; etc... Bilsteins are by far the best handling strut/shock combination I've found to date for the street (and I've tried several).

IIRC, the track pack '10-'14 GTs also ran this rear bar. I think I paid $25 for mine.
I did end up installing an adjustable front bar later but only because I got it for next to nothing. It's on the softest setting and I may just go back to the stock bar with poly bushings some day.
