I’m a VERY HAPPY man, these have transformed my base susp (2019 GT) to a nice driver. It’s the perfect drop, I’m sure they will settle in, but the car looks great.

Before the car was so bouncy, road hard, now it’s comprised, with no body roll. Honestly I was thinking how much better would they make the car,?

WOW was I surprised.

Lastly, BMR told me the base struts/shock would work just fine, I only had 2k miles on my car and didn’t wanna buy new struts/shock and BMR gave me solid advice. The 19 strut/shock are very close to 15-17 PP1’s and my car rides EXCELLENT

Couldn’t be happier

I wonder how these would change the handling and reduce bounce that the 2019 PP1 has? I have similar mileage on my car and the same thought as you... spending money for new struts and shocks is just stupid at this point. Is this the SP763 kit?
I'm glad to hear you're pleased with these shocks and that they work well with the stock dampers.

Your struts/shocks r even better then mine
I think yours are equivalent to the Ford street handling package shocks

Don't sweat it, just install the springs
You do not need to upgrade your strut or shock

They still bounce. Maybe not as bad as yours?

Yea that’s the kit, these springs completely eliminated the bounce, car rides so much better

The BMR SP763 and PP1 spring rates are essentially identical. The PP1 rear shocks are an insult to humanity. The only answer to that is to replace with Bilstein or Steeda's Koni derivitives (Active, or Action Adjustable).

SP763 = 170/740
PP1 = 165/728

Your car will likely settle a bit more. Did you measure the drop? Before and after? Do you have a straight-on side picture?

I didn’t but it’s lower, those stock springs sit up like a 4x4
