FR3 Shocks vs Steeda Pro Action?

[Condor1970]

I'm thinking about lowering my 2018 GT about 1" soon. A set of Progressives seems in order for my daily driver.

I wanted to do it last year, but my money got sidetracked. Anyway, as I peruse the various websites, I see everyone seems to really like the Ford Performance FR3 Shock and Strut kit with their own set of springs installed. The FR3 kit comes with bump stops, new dust covers, and a strut mounting plates.

A set of Steeda Pro Action Shocks are almost the same price as a whole FR3 kit. Are they really that much better?

Do the FR3 Strut Plates have camber built in for lowering springs? If not, wouldn't need a set of camber plates?

Also, what about the need for toe links, and how to adjust rear camber?

My car is a daily driver (50% street/50%highway) and I went with the Steeda Pro Active. @tj@steeda recommended those for my use. If you are going to do track events go with the Pro Action.

Hmmm, wouldn't going with the Koni Actives be basically the same?

The Konis with a set of Ford Performance X-Springs seems like it would be a pretty similar setup.

Dont know about that setup. After a few dms with @beefcake and @tj@steeda I ordered Steeda Pro Active Struts, Steeda Minimum drop springs and J&M Camber plates. DM those guys with your plans and they will tell you the setup that you need.
