Sorry, this would be for a 2018 GT. I have to update my sig.IMO yes. The car would understeer. If you're not tracking it, then it'd be fine and would ride quite nice, though.
Edit: wait, you have a GT350? If so, you need the left and right rear springs, not just two of the lefts. Right side is FR3Z-5560-W (or FR3Z-5560-P). SP088 would not work, but talk with Kelly [MENTION=9985]BMR Tech[/MENTION] about his Magneride springs. Even if you don't have Magneride they'd be excellent. Give him a call.
Gotcha. In that case the SP088 would work very well.Sorry, this would be for a 2018 GT. I have to update my sig.
Awesome thanks.. I read you’ve also owned the steeda fixed, are those better for the street as far as absorbing bumps on the road meaning more cushy than the FP tracks or would you say the other way around?Gotcha. In that case the SP088 would work very well.
In my experience, the FP are more comfortable, but that's with my SP085 springs. The SP088 would do fine with the Steeda fixed. Just know that you won't really be able to go much higher on spring rate with those shocks; not enough rebound damping.Awesome thanks..

You can probably get them from Tasca Parts cheaper.I was looking at ordering the Ford performance kit M-5700-N, but after reading all 35 pages I have come to the conclusion that it would be pointless because the springs would not fit. Guess I will be calling the dealer for gt350 springs.
True, but Im not worried about price.You can probably get them from Tasca Parts cheaper.
I run Koni Adjustables and they work great with the 350R springs. The Ford Performance Track Shocks are supposed to work great too.. I don't think the PP shocks would not be a good match for the 350R spring rates.@BmacIL hate to bug you, but want to order this stuff next week.
Car is a 18 GT PP1. Daily with light to medium track duty(HPDE and some club days).
350R Front Springs FR3Z-5310-M x2
350R Rear Springs FREZ-5560-X x2
Debating between GT350 Front Struts or Track Pack Struts up front and either TP Shocks, PP Shocks, or Vikings out back.
Thoughts?
For that wide of a range of uses, quality adjustables have a lot going for them. It's nice to be able to firm the dampers up for the track time and dial them back for the drive home (and all that street time before the next track outing). At some point, I'm sure that there'd be value in dialing them back some for a wet track day.@BmacIL hate to bug you, but want to order this stuff next week.

If you decide on picking up rear TP shocks I’ll consider selling mine. Less than 1000 miles on them.@BmacIL hate to bug you, but want to order this stuff next week.

I'm curious about something. I have always been told that if it works on the street, it works for the track. Granted, most folks go soft on the street for road imperfections; however, wouldn't a stiff track setting unsettle the car if it encountered an imperfection on the track? Just curious because I'd like to know if I should be adjusting for the track in the future or leave it be.For that wide of a range of uses, quality adjustables have a lot going for them.

Can't say as I agree with what you've been told, as the ride/handling mix for the track differs too greatly from that for the street. Crudely, best damper performance wants about two or three times as much damping as best ride performance does.I'm curious about something.
