Factory PP1 Struts and shocks

[PC_GUARD]

Looks like a solid choice. I considered the Ultralites too but didn't want my car that low and to need the additional bump steer correction parts.

For me I (where the car height is now) will only drop an additional 1/4" or so.


My old New Edge, on coilovers wasnt slammed but i havent any idea how much drop i put on it ( I raised it up twice) rubbed EVERYTHING lol I had to 45 everything I cam up to. This car I start off the same or wince thinking about whats about to happen, and nothing.


Although I am not in Ontario, so its a different animal.

I replaced the rears with Ford Perf track dampers (huge improvement in that alone). I have Ford Perf track struts on order as well as Steeda minimum drop linear springs. Might cancel that order if they don't cough them up soon.

Todd, I have the Steeda Min Drop springs and FP Track dampers. The combination of 200/800 spring rates with those dampers is fantastic. Do not cancel your order, call/email them... Also, I used the Eibach Bump stops, not trimmed for the 1/2" drop.

If your car is good where it is then you'll have no problem with the Ultralites.
Florida roads are far more forgiving. Hope to see you post some of your install progress.

Thanks for the reassurance. The 200/800 spring rates are what attracted me to the min drop springs. It seemed to be the perfect balance.

Ill do my best to snap some stuff as I go along. I get pretty mono focused (aka Hyper focused) on a project. I am kind of looking forward to do the rear suspension because i havent messed with the Ford IRS yet, and know nothing about it, but i will.

teeda ultralites and FP Track dampers enroute.

Have you confirmed the part # on the struts/shocks? I wouldn't go just by their color.

The OEM base GT350 struts/shocks are the same as the FRPP track ones except in black instead of blue. So make sure you verify what you have before installing something redundant.

Odds are they are just plain PP struts, but you never know.

Yes, I called steeda yesterday. They are steeda progressive sports

I had to take about 50 pics from under the back to get one clear shot of the numbers

I think @EFI is referring to the struts/dampers.

I hear ya. I am the same way. Up to my elbows in a project and pics are the last thing on my mind and usually an afterthought.

Ohhhh, theyre factory PP1 I verified that off the fronts when i found the stamping.

@PC_GUARD @StangTime
Take a look at this to see a comparison of the spring rates on different Mustangs:

PIX or did not happen.
This is a picture of the Ford track suspension (FR3). Blue springs, blue strut body and spring, blue shocks. You'd have blue sway bars as well in the full kit. You can buy blue Ford springs separate however. Look for the rear springs being progressive rate to know if it is the track kit.

The Track kit is actually linear springs with a helper spring out back.
