Yeah I know a really good local autocrosser who's very very fast in these heavy high horsepower cars. Its been interesting to watch him try to get his base car to handle in FS. Definitely has struggled more than I did starting with a PP1 car (although he's an alien, and thus still beats me most of the time). His trouble is keeping the soft base springs off the bump stops, he has to run higher adjustable shock settings than I needed to get similar results.Not sure people realize just how soft the base springs are for a car this size/weight. PP1 rates are marginal but decent. Just a bit more (200/800) is really good for a street car that's enthusiastically driven.
Thing is, GT350R spring rates will be a bit much of a lot of people/roads. PP1 was a good spring rate IMHO from Ford, they just let us down with the cheap shocks and the car really needed a bit more swaybar (although yeah, bumpy roads and stiffer swaybards aren't a good match either).
