I'd say it's worth it unless you plan on, in the future, getting motorsports-grade coilovers and tracking the car. A $50K+ Mustang, as a whole, is NOT worth it, to me.

Thanks. Keep in mind that any "flatter ride" is only during "transitions" because shocks/dampers are not springs/bars and don't change the total amount of roll/lean/brake dive in steady state conditions. Less roll in slaloms but not in long corners.

I got magneride on my car. I'm excited to see how it handles. But I also got a 53,000 dollar car. So I got everything on it (except recarros). I just want my car!!!:frusty:

You paid sticker? :eyebulge: :p

I’m getting the same for my Race Red GT - everything except those rock hard, non-climate controlled recaros. :D

My car was $41k and some change out the door. The car, and magneride, are definitely worth it.

So I am not the only ones who hate the recaros, I took a road trip in my friends car, was so excited til I hit the 15 min mark. They be great for an autocross car, but not a 3000 mile road trip car:)

I wondered this also.

After test driving a couple without Magneride, it seems very livable to me....but I am coming from an RS which is a ridiculously rough ride on normal setting.

Since the convertible will not be tracked, I personally see no reason for Magneride or the PP1.

Are you selling your RS? I was on the RS forum and was all ready to buy but a last minute ADM on a delivered car kept me from buying. Glad I waited to order a 2018 Mustang GTPP2.
I will be selling it as it is my daily driver also.

I have a great relationship with one of my local Ford dealers, so I was able to get it without ADM.

Bought it thinking I'd track it as well. For various reasons, have not been able to get to the track and this is not the best pure daily driver.

And I miss the v8 (had a 2011 GT Coupe that I loved).
