by the part numbers being different magride is an apparent difference. Which is what I'm asking...bar is the same diameter why is magride a factor???

Are you guys planning on mounting these on aftermarket End links designed for regular GTs? Stock links?

I am debating. I am also debating on whether to use stock or aftermarket bushings. Decisions decisions

Ford includes the same replacement bushings with the GT PP, Track Pack and new GT350 kits. The FR3Z-5493-C bushings are in stock at National Warehouse. Also check ANF WBL, looks like Mike R has a lot of this stuff in stock and when you factor in shipping he's usually cheaper than Levittown even with the Levittown discount code.
It's important to point out that Ford suffixes do not always make sense.
I'm also surprised more people don't realize that GT350 suspension parts bolt up to GT's. The cars are not that different. Suspension mounting points are all the same.
The end links are the same between V8 cars. If you're back there the FP Delrin insert toe link bushings are a nice upgrade as well.
And just to add to the pyramid Ford Performance considers this the hierarchy of sway bars
GT
GT PP aka Street Pack
GT Track Pack
GT350
GT350R
GT350/GT350R Ford Performance Kit
I kept a meticulous parts list of what I've ordered for the conversion if anyone needs it.

I skimmed sorry if I missed this...
Is there a definite r specific bar set with known part numbers or are we still waiting for verification?
Thanks!

I ordered base GT350 parts, no need for R on a street car. Also it's important to note that the suspension, like the powertrain is a system. Just adding sway bars isn't going to necessarily make the car handle better. You would be best to order the monotube struts and GT350 springs as well.
I see too many ill handling cars with mismatched suspension pieces. The placebo effect is real until you get on track and realize "Oh shit, the brand X bar was never meant for these brand Z springs and brand A springs. Thats why it's best to approach it with a proven kit or system. Let Ford engineers do the fun...er,hard part!
