Those who upgraded their gt350 with the R springs and swaybar can you chip in on long term feedback.

1. # miles since upgrade

2. Any issues over that time.

3. Is the upgrade noticeable both street and track.

4. Would you do it again.

Thank you

I can give a partial reply.

I installed the rear R sway bar with the GT350 springs. I drove it for a coupe weeks before installing the FP springs. The car rotated in turns a bit more and overall I liked the difference. After installing the FP springs, I really enjoyed how well the car handles over stock. Have to say got an alignment and it improved the car too - was not delivered with proper alignment. People worry about FP springs being too low, but Iā€™m not scraping the spoiler any more than I did fully stock.

Very noticible on street and track. I understand the spring rates are similar to the R, ride on street is excellent. Improvement on track is amazing.

I would do it again and highly recommended.

Good luck with your upgrades!

Did you not think the R springs offered a noticeable difference from stock ride? My main goal is to further reduce body roll without sacrificing grip.
They are better, but can be improved.

Which is why Iā€™ve been waiting for the aftermarket. I was going to go FP but for some reason they wonā€™t release spring rates so I wonā€™t waste my time.

Same upgrades here as well, except that I did the FP springs first and then the R rear sway bar (including BMR camber bolts so I can get -2.8 camber up front). I agree 100% with the assessment above. The sway bar helped making the rear more ā€˜livelyā€™ and the car now is very tossable despite its not negligible weight :).

I would also do this again without thinking twice.
