I agree with the Steeda "Stop the Hop" kit. Makes a world of difference in spirited driving and install is not difficult at all.

my list has added Koni STR.T strut/shock
I wouldn't. If you want koni, buy Steeda's version. That said I found the pro-actives under damped back in 2019. You can ask them if they made improvements in the meantime.

But you're better off with Bilstein or FP.

If you persist with koni get the pro-actions.

Good to know. I’ll look elsewhere.

I recently spent my ford pass points on the FRPP street springs and sway bar kit. The car they will be going on is a 2022 GT Premium (non-PP). I wont actually be doing the install for a bit, but curious as to what else would be a good idea to do while I'm in there. I've been looking at Steeda's IRS bushing support system too.
Wider tires and lighter rims. 305's, then if you want to throw suspension parts on have at it.

In due time.
Wide sticky tires will cover a lot of bad suspension parts. Putting on tires first is a mistake on a track car.

The main reason for me the wheels and tires are in due time is I like the factory 20’s, even if they are heavy, but the junk 265’s were replaced with 285/35r20 Indy 500’s (one of my favorite street tires on the market currently)

The braces act like subframe connectors in the old cars. So you get a better front to rear connection along with controlling the rear. Reason I would pick them over the bushing idolators. In reality I would and did use both.
Man... sub frame connectors rocked... I had welded in ones in my 4th gen Camaro. Made a huge difference.

Sorry to hijack.... thx for the memories. :)
