Yes sir. The rear toe links are the only carry over from the PP that you won't need to change. The strut mounts are PP too but it's because the struts come assembled. Saves a lot of time if you're installing and should save labor time/cost if you're paying for it.

So what's the difference in sway bars between a GT350R and a GTPP. Looking online they seems to have the same part number

I'm confused

See one of my previous posts. Bridgestone RE71r. Stickiest 200 tw tire around. Ran them on my Boss 302. We mockingly call them Hoosierstones because the grip so well

Yes, it has better dampers and progressive springs that drop the car 1". It also comes with beefier sway bars.

For $1000, I would do the following assuming you already have the RE71R's:
BMR cradle lockout kit - $200
Rear LCA bearings - $160-260 depending on vendor
Steeda Fixed Pro-Action Shocks and Struts - $480
GT350R springs all around, or GT350R fronts and BMR handling (SP085) rears ~$160

Now I'm confused too. Is the track handling pack stuff better than the gt350r stuff?
Not sure what you mean by better but here's some info for comparison if someone else has the gt350/r data. Maybe then it'll be easier to decide which works better for your application. I can't vouch for the gt350/r parts as I've never run them

The track handling pack was designed for this car (5.0/2.3) and is what they use on the Hertz Shelby GT-H Mustangs and on the Ford Performance Racing School Mustang GTs.

The sway bars are adjustable and the struts/shocks are matched to the springs. The components were developed to work together as a package with a focus on handling and on track performance. I included the part numbers earlier if anyone wants to look at the components individually. To my knowledge, Ford hasn't released the spring rates stating they are proprietary.

36.5mm (1.43") Diameter Front Sway Bar
25mm (0.98") Diameter Rear Sway Bar

This is wrong. The R bars are 23.6 mm diameter.

Did you check the source, it's directly from Ford Performance's supplement of the vehicle :shrug:

Could it be the track pack/magnaride/regular ones are different and the source just cited a non track pack? The source of my info is 6/6/2015 so it was early for the shelby cars but I imagine production was ongoing. More than happy to update the post if a newer or better source has the info?
