Favour request - GT owners

[stiggy]

Hi chaps,

For anyone who's taken delivery of their GT, could you do me a massive favour and see if you can see/photograph a sticker/label/barcode on the front and rear dampers?

I'm trying to work out whether UK cars already have the upgraded FR3 dampers or not? ETIS shows mine spec'd with 'Standard rear shocks' but I treat everything on there with a pinch of salt!

Thanks

edit, checked a 5L GT's vin that i've got:

FR3C 5310 J* Left/Front Coil
FR3C 5310 J* Right/Front Coil
FR3C-5560-H* Left Rear Coil
FR3C-5560-H* Right Rear Coil

less Spare Wheel
With Tyre Pressure Sensors
With Standard Rear Shock Absorbers

Here you go, pictures from the ones I took of my car:

Thanks Gibbo.

Interesting that they are FR3C. I wonder how different they are from the FR3 dampers if at all?

Is it just me or is the 3rd pic borked? Typically that's the most useful one (front damper)!

The Ford Racing ones are M-FR3A-M8 - so I guess they're different.

Which is very helpful - except for the fact that it's for an Ecoboost and I already have ETIS info for my own car ;)

are these the frp dampers?

The pics Gibbo posted are the standard dampers for a UK GT. My question was whether they are the same as the FRPP FR3 dampers - but it appears that they are not.

I expect the stock ones are tuned for UK drivers, but perhaps not the same setup as the track spec dampers FR3C (UK stock) vs FR3A (FRPP track spec)

No, the 'edit' was for a GT. Which, is a VIN i've got from another user - built 19.11.15. Thought it might help

3rd pic doesn't load for me either

Yes hence my question.... Fr3c vs fr3a what is the difference in damping spec and is it significant ?

Should all work now, try F5 or CTRL+F5
