Shelby gets my vote for sure! prices of those are going crazy since the dork horse came out if you can grab it for a good price do it. Im also not a fan of automatic fun cars i get 10speeds will smoke me all day but its just my preference, save the automatic transmission for the daily drivers...
If all your suspension checks out like someone else mentioned already check your motor mounts, you never know and if the suspension is all good cant be many other things besides a motor or tranny mount but maybe a video with the sound could also help diagnose it, best of luck
I wanted to see if anyone has had the same idea or tried something that worked for the dyno plug. So what I was thinking of doing is splicing into the looped wire and run a toggle switch into the cab of my car so that switch would now function as an on/off switch instead of needing to unplug...
If you need any help look up how to remove the bumper on youtube its not hard, you will get to see someone run thru it, and you will also know what tools you need before the job even starts, best of luck
Could get under it and remove the lip or remove the whole bumper take it apart line it back up and put it back together. Or just try lining everything up still on the car and pop it back in by pushing on it. Best of luck

Not sure how crazy your trying to get but for my car I went with ford performance track shocks and struts I absolutely love them. I think they ride and handle soooo much better then the stock pp1 suspension
