I am in the process of installing base gt350 shocks and struts on my 2016 gt with Sportline springs. they bolt up perfectly fine. The front struts on the base 350 is mono tube and has a longer shaft. Also, the base 350 struts do not have the big dent on the strut body like the gt models. So running 350 struts with factory gt wheels you might rub on the strut housing. I am running 12mm spacers and Mrr 350 wheels without any rubbing issue and plenty of space.
Will see how the shocks and struts perform with the sportlines once completely installed.
The front 350 struts are identical to ford racing struts. Compression and rebound are also 99% same as the FRPP struts but the FRPP struts are twin tube.
Also, bump stops that came with the gt350 struts are same as the FRPP bump stops. Same part number.
Trying things out before I spend 3k+ on coilovers.
The Steeda struts and shocks are nice but they will not work well with sportlines. The car felt very lazy under load compression and it was uncontrollable because of the softer compression. Sportlines are more aggressive and also progressive rate. If you have linear springs Steeda shocks and struts would work well. Sportlines rely on more compression from shocks and struts that Steeda does not offer unless you are running linear springs.
