GT350R Springs for GT (high rate, minimum lowering)

[BmacIL]

All you'd have to do is talk to Levittown or White Bear Lake and have them get you the right part numbers. They can search by VIN. Two left rear springs WILL fit in the control arm pocket.

I was going to be the first adopter...then I retracted and went safe with BMR. The issue is that there is some confusion with the upper/lower spring seat (or anti-squeak, as Ford calls them) fitment and PN.

Ahhh, ok. So the stock spring seats on my GT wont work? It wouldn't be a case of just throwing on 2 left side 350r springs?

You'd need the 2 left springs...and their respective upper/lower anti-squeaks, [MENTION=10281]BmacIL[/MENTION] will point you in the right direction.

They might work just fine. My contact at Ford wasn't 100% sure when he mentioned that, but was pretty sure it was a different seat. They may fit fine but perhaps are a different material. If they fit in the lower pockets, it means they are the same winding geometry as the normal GT springs, as the rears don't change their diameter like the fronts do. I will do my best to confirm, but he is in Arizona right now testing the 18MY cars

I decided to attempt the full 350r spring setup. I'm going to attempt to install the rears along with the fronts. I'll let everyone know how it turns out and take some pictures of the process as well as get the parts numbers that are needed for the install. I ordered 2 350r fronts, 2 350r left rears, and will be running them with Koni's. I'll let everyone know what else is needed when I attempt the install once the stuff comes in and I get it to my buddies shop. I'm hoping before Christmas or during Christmas week to have it all installed.

I just ordered GT350R fronts and BMR SP085 rears with the Steeda dampers. I'm going to try and install the week after Christmas.

Should be a good setup from what I've heard. If the 350r rears don't fit I plan to use the 085's.

Some pics as promised. Finally...

Looks great! :cheers: Grab one with the front wheels straight sometime, if you can, just to show the gap to the fender a bit better.

 

[2015Etrac]

Looks really good, perfect wheel gap. My springs should be here this week. I'm hoping to get them on right after Christmas. Once I'm finished paying off those things I need to work on getting a strut tower brace and some sway bars....and Brembo front brakes...new wheels and tires.... These Mustangs end up costing like double in the long run haha

So those GT350 front springs are FR3Z-5310k? They are $22!

 

[TrackpackGT]

Is that the standard 350 or 350r spring? I would want the standard 350

K is the standard, non-mag ride GT350. X is the mag ride, non-R front spring, per Benny at Levittown. The drop is the same, 10 mm, but I am not sure on the rates. They would have to be at least slightly different for Ford to have a different part number. I would expect the K to be just slightly softer, but could be wrong.

Tomorrow's the day: GT350R front springs, BMR SP085 rear springs, and Steeda Pro-Action Fixed struts and shocks. Can't wait to get to work

Wowza! Someone's suspension is about to get and epic treatment.
