Ford Performance Street Handling Pack Question?

[orangefury5.0]

I am thinking about the Ford Performance Street Handling Pack fro my Mustang. I came across 2 part numbers and was wondering if anyone knew what the differences were. Apparently both fit the 2018 without MagneRide. And both seem to have the same list of parts. However 1 lit is about $100.00 less. Below are the two kits i was looking at.

Do you have a PP1 w/o magneride?

My apologies. I should have posted more information.

My car is a 2018 GT Base Model. No MagneRide on my car.

Ok. The Street Handling pack is just the PP1 dampers (at least they were relative to the 15-17 cars) with lowering springs and bars. Depending on what you want out of the car, I believe you can do better, but it is a good package.

That said, it looks like the MAA version is just an amended version showing it's for non-magneride cars. I'm not sure the hardware is different.

Have you tried going on the Ford Performance website and chatting with one of the reps? They are usually helpful.

You need to select "Ford Performance Parts" from the drop down and on the next screen a chat icon on upper right.

Got it, great call. I will try that route. Thank you for the advice.

Thank you for that feedback. daily drive my car. Will never go to the drag strip. May track it once or twice. I just wanted a little more out of the handling. To me i think it handles great. But a little less roll on the off ramps wouldn't hurt.

Do you have any other recommendations? I see you have some suspension mods on your car done.

I think you'll desire for a bit more than what the street handling pack can provide. It is, essentially, the performance pack suspension with lowering springs after all. The FRPP Track Package is pretty good from what I hear, or you can check out my vendor/manufacturer preference: Steeda. I've been using their products since 1997 and have always had success. Here is a link to their suspension packages:

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the feedback.

So do you know what's the difference now? Thanks

Good luck. It's excellent. FP said the street should have been the suspension on all GT mustangs and I wholeheartedly agree. It's awesome and fits in the "just right" spot between daily driver and track capability.

I've got the street handling pack as well as all the other stuff in my sig and the car handles awesome but soaks up shitty roads great too. It's very predictable and easy to steer with the throttle now should you choose to. The floatiness and porpoising of the base suspension doesn't exist anymore. All around the car handles how I believe it should and expect it to in all situations.

It's so much better than the base suspension in every way but doesn't lose much of the comfort aspect, if anything it's more comfortable over bumps as they are more absorbed and controlled now. It looks great too! View attachment 314948

M-FR3A-MAA seems to now include 2018 year vs MA which only states 15-17, I am seeing some customers on other sites in regard to the Ford Performance Fastener kits that FP has revised the handling packs to now include the one time use bolts/nuts, so a bolt/nut kit is not required? But I have no idea if Id end up with the kit without bolts.

Some 2018 customers have confirmed that the sway bars and toe end links in the pack is exact same as the ones on the 2018 base GT, so you would end up with left over parts. 2018 GT base now share same bars and links as PP1, only upgrade you get out of it is the pre installed lowering shocks and PP1 dampeners.

15-17 base GT do get an upgrade out of all the parts, but 2018+ seem to lose out on the bars/links
