Here's some more info on the shelby R parts. It's a slow day at work. The front part numbers don't look right and the prices change from place to place but this is from fordparts.com so it could be used as a benchmark.

GT350R (non magnaride)
Front struts: 18124(AST-84786) - $231.58
Rear Shocks: 18125(ASH-25844) - $191.30
Front Springs: 5310 - $33.53
Front Sway Bar: 5482 - $72.03
Rear Spring (R): FR3V-5560-K - $91.23
Rear Spring (L): FR3V-5B589-L - $91.23
Rear Sway Bar: FR3Z-5A772-G - $71.83

Ok then I'm done posting bum info ha. It's from fordparts but if you've ordered and have the right parts then I'll defer to your real world experience.

I have a gt350 track pack. And I'm a self employed mechanic that deals with the ford dealers parts department on nearly a weekly basis. I've swapped all my track pack parts for R springs and bars. The listing they show on the site you posted from is old and dated. The R and non R rear bars used to be the same for 2015 but since changed.
Only base Gt350's could be had without magneride. the tech, track and R all have magneride. The R magneride dampers are different from the track and tech because of the dampers valving.

Also you can't fit GT350 rear dampers to a normal S550 without swapping to GT350 control arms. The pockets and attachments are different.

Sounds good to me, firsthand knowledge > the internets. Now I can't say I didn't learn anything new today. My posts are updated :cheers:

I'm not certain on that.

I am. [MENTION=15675]Niz55[/MENTION] attempted it and found that the bolt spacing was different and the "head" of the damper was too wide.

Don't waste your time adding power before you can get it to hook up.

Realest thing I ever read.

I've always done suspension 1st. That way when I do add hp the pony will take it well. I agree best post of the week. My sig shows this.

On this car suspension & IRS, tires first outside of a catback. Then power.

This. Car has plenty of power in stock form. Dial in the suspension, then add the power. I am doing this exact same thing. Added the catback for noise and am now piecing together my suspension.
