Does anybody have any experience running the Ford Racing handling Package on their car. Preferably on an ecoboost as that is what I have, but any over all feedback would work. Does it cause any rubbing running a 275front/305 rear tire on it?

There is a thread or two on it. A guy from Hickory NC installed one on his GT. I think possibly Mustangcollector reviewed it, not sure. Ford just released their performance shocks that are about $520, they do come with them I believe, but they are all GT spec. Yours is obviously lighter in the front end, so I'm not sure how it would be for a street car. Swift springs has someone running their springs on an otherwise stock suspension eco stang and has run impressive track times. Edit: it appears Ford lists it for both cars. Not sure what I think about that, but I'm no pro.

I have it installed on my GT. I run 275/35 square with no rubbing issues.
It dropped my car about 1" front and back.

As with most handling upgrades...the car handles way better, but ride is noticeably harsher than the stock ride.

If you live someplace with lots of potholes or you always have the wife or girlfriend in the car...might not be the thing to do.:shrug: As like I said, the ride is way stiffer and harsher than OEM.

I live in AZ, so good roads and I'm in the car by myself 95% of the time...so the handling increase is what I wanted and got.

Well I'm single no kids so the ride change is fine for me. I don't daily the car either. Main thing is I wonder if these spring rates are ok for Ecoboost cars. I saw that Steeda has a similar kit, but they have GT and Ecoboost specific set ups. Only 300 more than the ford set up from what I can find.
