no. Differential != IRS

The Steeda and BMR differential bushing 'insert' kits use a high durometer material to 'sandwich' the Ford soft/flexi-rubber. The Whiteline uses a softer material and thus less vibration pass-thru. Unfortunately Whiteline appears to have discontinued their kit that totally replaces the Ford bushings. That's the one I put on 2 cars and it's lovely. The next closest thing is one from Energy Solutions but I can't speak to durometer of the materials.

The Steeda IRS support/lockout you referenced is akin to this Whiteline kit.
Thank you.

maybe you should watch it first? There isn't even a dozen parts worth that is different between a GT350 and GT/EB car. And what there is is called out in the vid.
I did watch it and emailed Steeda. They replied those are not the parts for my car and sent me links to the correct parts.

huh? the only part different between GT350/PP2 and your car is the IRS bushing support bits (rings) made out of aluminum. The alignment dowels could conceivably be different but it's pretty damn hard to pick the wrong parts off the Steeda website.

@Matthewstorm, when do you expect to take delivery of your car? I don’t think you’ll be disappointed in Steeda’s offerings for your car. Will you be setting the car up on a budget, or carte blanche? Don't overthink it, trust the guys at Steeda, after all; they‘re the designers of their parts. Any feedback (whether positive or negative) from end users should be considered bonus info.

Try not to give yourself a headache between suspension and audio. Maybe try making a post requesting to meet up with any local Mustang owners with suspension and audio mods paralleling what you’re considering, to perhaps go for a ride and see what you think before placing an order.

I get it next Thursday.
Appreciate the good suggestions.

I have installed several sets of both Steeda progressive and Ford Perf Track set up's for myself and my friends, and I would say for all around good handling with good ride go with Steeda Progressive springs and Steeda shocks and struts and just use Camber bolts for adj. For more serious track car set up go with F.P.Track kit. I personally run F.P. Track springs, shocks and struts. with Steeda adj F/R sway bars, Steeda bump steer, Steeda Sway bar end links, Steeda 4 piont front k brace, Steeda Rear IRS brace And Max Motorsports camber plates. I love my track set up but My wife doesnt like the overall stiffness. Please remember the closer you get to a good track car you build , the less of a comfortable street car you will have.
Would this kit be a good improvement on handling along with the ability for DD when an occasional pothole is likely?

Steeda all the way.
is there a comparable BMR kit?
I don't think so.

Race wins should be enough proof of Steeda's products for Mustang.

I went with the Ford Racing Track kit. Although Steeda was definitely on my radar. The fact it was Ford Racing it has an OEM feel to it, and Ford based the GT350 suspension on a lot of what was learned developing this kit. I also got the FR kit due to finding it new/ used never installed from a forum member and got a great price.

Why stay clear of dual rate springs? Because once you get into that second rate, they really firm up? Wouldn't a dual rate be as close as you can get to a "best of both worlds" scenario? I can't find it now, but I had read where Steeda's dual rate springs worked really well on the 350 (also a MR car).
