I am basically piecing together a 2015 Performance Package convertible.

I have the springs already(coupe), but I am just trying to figure out what the difference is between the coupe and convertible rear shocks since there are 2 different numbers.

Do you guys have any specs on these? I am guessing the vert shocks are a little stiffer?

Benny just worked up a proposal for me. Instead of requesting a 2015 vert GT, Benny can work you up a 2017 vert GT. This way, you get the updated settings. He did the work up with prices.

If possible, he should literally resend the private post he sent to me.

This way, there is no reason to reinvent the wheel. Much better than buying any used shocks and springs off a PP coupe but might be optimal for a vert.

Thanks

I am sorry but we do not have engineering specs on the shocks or springs for that matter. Coupes use different parts than the convertibles regardless of with or without Performance Pack. My recommendation is to stay with a Convertible shock setup as these are designed to work with those spring rates.

Here is the parts listing to a 2017 Vert with PP which Ford updated after 2015

FR3Z-18124-AD FRONT STRUTS
FR3Z-5310-R FRONT SPRINGS
FR3Z-5482-B FRONT SWAY BAR


FR3Z-18125-W REAR SHOCKS
FR3Z-5560-C REAR SPRINGS
FR3Z-5A772-A REAR SWAY BAR

If you want to stick with 2015 Vert PP parts let me know I will provide those numbers as well.

Thanks Benny! Can you send me a quote on that stuff minus the springs?

Looks like the leg work is already done!
