[montreal ponies]

Just curious as to what type of dampers do base GT350 cars come equipped with !
I haven't found anything on the net .

From what i have read on here, no one seems to really know. Just that they are better than a GT PP setup. I would like to find out as well, since that is what I ordered.

I hear ya', that makes two of us in the same boat. Wonder if they used Bisltein dampers ! Really would like to know more about this. :shrug:

I used to wonder what dampers it has just like you do.

However, ever since my GT350 was delivered, I kind of forgot about it. The car rides very very smoothly, and it handles corners very well. I guess that is why I didn't even bother to find out what dampers it has.

I did look at the dampers and it definitely wasn't MagnaRide. It said something like "danger, high pressure compressed fluid", or something similar to that. I don't know the part number, I will have to take a better look when I have time.

Fair enough Eric, thanks for the heads up. Keep us posted if you find out anything , like a damper #number . Wonder who i could contact at Ford to get an answer on that !
Thanks

How about your local Ford parts department?

Here it is. I finally got a chance to take a picture of the part number on the shocks of the Base GT350. Let me know what you find.

I cannot find the part number anywhere online. It seems like it is a myth... Maybe Ford doesn't want anyone to know what dampers they are using...

Should be this but I don't see any numbers that match

And the mystery continues. Now I just want to find out for the sake of finding out.

 

[montreal ponies]

Haven't found anything. Niet, nada. I'll try Ford's facebook page.

The part number on that shock is the manufacturer's number. What is needed is the part order number. Consult your Ford parts guy.

 

[jma406]

Correction; The number on that shock is the "engineering" number, not the actual part number. Ask your Ford parts guy to look up a base Shelby front shock for the number, description, and interchange, if any.

Well at least it's "only" $231 instead of the $650 magnaride ones. Still a twice as much as the GTPP shocks though. Maybe a case of the proprietary syndrome like the oil filter.
