I did full Steeda progressives, sway bars and dampers! I absolutely love the way it handles. One caveat, though, Steeda had to put a spacer on my rear springs to level it out. I still can whole-heartedly recommend them and their customer service is exemplary! TJ with Steeda can hook you up!

I came from a fastback to the vert, so there was a noticeable difference. Mine is a 2017 GT PP.

I've added the BMR CB006 subframe brace, J&M jacking rails, Steeda IRS support bushings and alignment kit, as well as the Ford Performance street springs.

My GT drives really nicely - handling has improved, cowl shake is noticeably reduced and best of all, the ride comfort hasn't diminished.

I've since changed out the stock 19" PP wheels and Pirellis for a set of 20" P51s with Michelin PS4S and they have made even more of a difference.
Did similar W/Yellow KYBs adj. and FRPP suspension BMR front and rear sway bars, KYB font brace, stteeda jacking rails W/ Brembo front brakes and 19 PP1 wheels so far.

Factory Performance Pack 1 option for the convertible makes for a pretty decent handling convertible in stock form. Add Steeda jacking rails, adj camber plates and a good sport alignment...I am happy!
Did that also Every see a 17 GT PP1 Conv but With and Auto ?

I ordered mine (2020) as a PP1. I then lowered on FP street springs. Added a Steeda K brace to tighten up the front end. Perfect for me.

Are you guys doing the bushing re-clocking when installing lowering springs? I've got Steeda springs coming and I'm not sure if I need to ask the shop to re-clock the bushings.

So if you guys were getting a new one would you just get the magneride instead or prefer the analog mods?
On a convertible I would choose Magneride over any aftermarket setup every day. Simply because I like cruising in comfort in a convertible and if you want to stiffen stuff up occasionally MR does a pretty decent job.

On my 2016 coupe I run a full Steeda/KW setup which handles better than my MR Bullitt, but obviously is noticeably stiffer. Aftermarket setups are always noticeably stiffer, even though people often try to convince themselves they are not.

@Ericc B....so you have spent time in Magneride vert on the same roads you drive with analog car?
My cars are both coupes and I still own both so yeah I switch between Magneride and fixed regularly. But I think it's smart of you to wait and experience for yourself and not rely on what other people say.

15 GT Vert w/Steeda lower brace, PP sways & susp
Note: if you do not have a PP suspension, then update the vertical and horizontal trailing arms with Steeda or Ford Performance (or other similar brands). That will help get rid of the sloppy feel of the rear end.

Just did mine...and can feel the difference.
