Running a GT convertible non-performance pack. Bought a performance pack suspension from someone and trying to figure out whether to install. These might come of a GT coupe and I do not know whether those are different because of the different weight of the car. Any help much appreciated! Could find the answer on any forum.

I have the front 2017 PP1 shocks & springs installed on my 2015 vert. I also used their sway bars.

In the back, I left the standard springs but replaced the shocks, sway bars, vertical & horizontal trailing arms off the same PP1.

The vert weighs approx 200 lbs more than the hardtop, so if you want a stiffer rear end, then order vert PP1 springs so the car doesn't appear to sag.

thanks

Thanks!

I was actually thinking something similar. The Stance in the rear looks really good with the PP1 wheels staggered. However was ready to try a bit more advanced dampers.
In the front it could do with a slightly lower stance and I don’t want to push the wheels out. DMV area does not have the best roads.

appreciate the vector!

2018 vert. Used all of a 2016 pp1 suspension. Springs, struts. Front sway bar was same. Rear PP1 bar was 2mm thicker. I decided to not use the rear bar. Rear doesn't seem to be much lower.

I used the thicker rear bar off of the hardtop.

Helps make it slightly more neutral..
