My guess is that it would be cheaper to trade in the car and buy the new one from the factory than to retrofit, if it's possible at all.

I'm pretty sure once you option up the '18 GT with mag ride and dual mode exhaust you might as well go for the gt350 for the 5.2 voodoo.

Uhm....a brand new gt with premium and pp has a sticker price of 45k. You can talk that down but mag ride and exhaust is going to tip the 50k mark easily.

I'm going to say a lot less headache to buy a 18 if so equipped. Magma ride would include not only the struts and probably the springs and sway bars, but also a new OBC/ECM also. The magma ride is part of the PDI program on new car delivery.

I'm just hoping that i can get the magnetic ride suspension on the base gt. I just want that, 10 speed auto and the performance pack, in orange and it wont cost me 40k+

Thats right where it needs to be to make sense - PP car for 38 with recaros mag ride etc
Noway it hits 50k. The new Camaro 1LE is lighter and faster than the mujstang and is essentially their PP car. Comes standard with manual trans, leather/alcantara recaros, heads up display, mag ride, active exhaust, 6pot brembos, lighweight performance wheels with 315s/285s and a bunch of other stuff. That car runs 44k base and 46 with the PDR that GM offers and several have already bought them under that 44k sticker (including some of my friends). I'm eagerly anticipating the changes the 2018MY will bring and have suspended any further modifications to see how Ford answers back. Priced at 50 and you're almost to a GT350 or a new base vette - it would be suicide.
If they give the 18 a power bump and make active exhaust and mag ride std on track packs for under 40 im all in. If not, I will definitely be shopping the better equipped 1LE. Also as noted above, the 1le actually comes with a solid wheel/tire setup. The 18 doesn't need this for me, but it sure would be nice. Ford's offerings have historically been horrendous - my 14 5.0 came with 235s......seriously? At least on my PP car they made an attempt although the wheels are still heavy tires are still too small. It would be nice if they gave more than one performance based wheel option on our cars as that is what they are meant to be afterall. Oh yea, fingers crossed for rear brembos....for the love of God Ford come on.

Short answer is NO.
Those shocks are computer/sensor controlled. Cars will not have the necessary wiring, sensors, nor computer programming- it ain't a simple download/tune.
Now having said that--anything is possible. But the total cost to do so would probably exceed that of just starting with an empty garage and buying a Mustang that is already equipped with magnetic ride shocks.

Having both a 15 PP and a 350 with the trackpack. The performance difference is night and day. I know my 350 has a wider stance and a larger tire but the $ it would take to get my PP to handle like my 350???
I still don't think it would be standard equipment unless the price went up significantly,I'd have to guess that's going to be a $3k to $4k bump in price. I don't think all Mustang buyers will want it at that price. Maybe it would just get grouped into the PP upgrade? the active exhaust though could be an easy cheap standard equipment upgrade.
