The front springs are the same on all the s550 but the rear is different on the shelby. Right and left.

Is a good idea to recal the dampers specially with more drop like the eibachs. You need the Ford tool or higher end scanners like the autel elite. I have the autel and I can perform the calibration.
I don't think anyone has done so with the GT 350's but I am going to ask my Ford tech to look in to how and if it's needed .
I did have a realignment done but not looked to see how much it was out of spec.

I don't think the one's off your 15 would work as these are supposedly designed to work with the Magneride(GT 350).
I read somewhere that the springs that work with the magneride are wound differently.

I agree that they are softer than the FP springs but they still seem to have improved the handling (with the lighter wheels and Cradle lock out ) compared to stock .
10-4 on the springs I was talking about the MRR wheels.....I miss those meaty 325's on the rear:(

Shoot ! So I could have just slapped on regular S550 front lowering springs .
It was really just the front that need a drop and I think a little rake . Lol

I have set of steeda (1 inch ) linear lowering springs I took off one of my 15's just gathering dust . Not sure of the front springs rates on those but if the Eibachs prove to be too soft may be I can try those ?

On the other hand since car will see a lot of the strip duty may be the softer springs will help weight transfer for drag racing ?

When I installed the frpp springs on my Shelby I added a 5mm spacers in the back to even out the ride height as far as visually looking at it. I don't like the rear to be lower than the front.

We have spent a lot of time developing our MR specific springs.

I hope to have them very soon. Once we can get a few different trim package MR equipped cars running them, we will start taking orders for them and #sendingthem

MR car + BMR MR specific springs + Adjustable front bar = winning. ;)

FYI, the DSC controller can do the same thing. In case you have one.
Looks like your video is dead. Is this a process that the dealer can do for you or are you kind of on your own? I am going to be using the FP gt350 springs but don't want to have any ride quality issues.


Thanks in advance

It would be nice if frpp came out with the recaled version of the dampers using lowering springs.
