Hey guys,
I'm looking to do a handling upgrade on my 16 GT. It does not have the performance pack and is stock. I've owned it since new and I'd like to make it more aggressive and fun.
I'm planning to do all the mods in my garage with a buddy. I want something that can be installed relatively easily out of the box.
For wheels/tires I'm looking at 19x10 275/40R19 square. Lots of options in this tire size that are easy to come by, and additional sidewall will be great for street use.
This is a list of handling upgrades I've found from reading the forum. I'm leaning heavily towards the FP Track Handling Pack because many here have reported it's usable on a daily driver, and that the FP Street Pack is not a significant enough upgrade from the base suspension. I'm assuming the Track version is worth the $300 premium.
I found a lot of good info about the bracing in this thread.
I've read that the FP toe links are already on all GTs.
Is the FP Control Arm Kit M-3075-F worthwhile or no?
What about the IRS Knuckle and Hub Kit M-5970-M while I have it all apart?
Is there anything else I should be doing while I am doing these other mods?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
