So I have the need to upgrade my V6 suspension (much needed since the car is at almost 100,000 miles) and I am wondering what would be needed to get a performance package like setup on the V6? I basically want to replicate the EB Performance Package as much as possible (and reasonable). Springs and struts are obvious and needed but what other supporting mods did the performance package bring? Sway bars, bushings, etc..?

The plan currently is to source a set of EcoBoost PP struts and combine them with a set of lowering springs (not sure which ones yet) and also upgrade the brakes to base GT spec brakes.

Anyone have a specific parts list?

Thanks!

Make sure you guys come back and post everything you figure out in here too, I'll be making my upgrades over time. No where near 100k miles yet though, haven't even broken 10k.

Haha will do! 100k is easy when I had a 150 mile round trip every day to school. Now that I am finished with school my commute has drastically reduced.

Yes, isn't the Street Pack essentially the PP suspension + the street lowering springs?

Seem like one and done other than the brakes.

So here are the parts that we have found to be different between PP and stock. (Big thanks to BmacIL)

1. Dampers and springs
2. Sway Bars and supporting hardware
3. Front rearward lower control arms
4. Rear Toe Links

I have went ahead and purchased a set of GT PP dampers, BMR SP080 springs, rear toe links, and sway bar end links. I plan to purchase front and rear control arm bushings (upgrade to spherical bearings), PP front rearward control arms, BMR cradle lockout, and rear billet shock mounts.

If you take the install in different parts, I'm really interested in how much difference the CB005 makes the V6 feel. I know its highly recommended by the GT guys too.
