GT350 R suspension

[elitex]

What's the difference between 350 and 350 R suspension? I know the springs are different and rear sway bar is different. I am thinking about changing to the R suspension. Is there a programming difference on the MAG ride suspension? If so, can we reprogram it? Has anyone tried?

Reprogrammed due to much less unsprung weight. Also I believe the end links in the back are shorter. I think Voodoo has the R end links.

Thanks guys. I am thinking about going with HRE wheels. I believe they have some 19" wheels around 18 lbs. springs, sway bar and end links are cheap. The only concern I have is reprogramming the shocks.

Don't the R magride react faster then the tech/track magride ?

Yes! the dampeners are not the same. they look the same physically but the orifices that the fluid passes through are of a smaller diameter to include the programing that is specifically tuned to the lighter wheels. As was mentioned, rear arms for the sway bar are shorter and all the springs are shorter.

I asked Eric Zinkosky and Kerry Baldori (both vehicle dynamics engineers that worked on the GT350 program) the same question about whether or not the R model dampers reacted faster. They made it clear that it wasn't about "faster" but rather they are tuned to react to a different set of parameters only.

So can we just buy the dampers and they'll work?

It would be great to have a definitive list on what is different in the two cars. Part number verifications, not I think this is different.

Its not I think. Search the forum all the part numbers have been listed already.

No. You would need the dampeners and the programming

Post it up hero. It would make a good sticky.
