If it helps at all, I have the BMR Handling springs (250 lb front, 980 rear) and they are perfectly fine on the street. The car feels "tight" on the street but not harsh. On track, they are a great improvement over OEM but still on the soft side. I'd say these spring rates are a minimum for track use but still not ideal.

You can go down the mods rabbit hole a lot there are no setups a like. But without even been to the track how you know you need them ?
Anyway I could get an explanation of coilovers. Would something like that work with magneride?
Would 285/35r19 work on a 35 offset both front and rear? That was the plan for the time being until I go up to 305'sHey morning. I didn't read all the comments so apologies if someone already answer
Is this your first year tracking?
How many events. Have u done already?
I will tell you what I've been told when i started.
Go there 2 or 3 events and have fun.
Feel the car. Then evolve. With her.
of you put bunch of stuff you will never know what is wrong or good.
Some basic recommendations
1. Dot 4 brake fluid. Necessary.
First upgrades :
1. Better pads.
2. Bigger tires (305mm squared. ) To accommodate 305 front :
- front longer studs, open wheel nuts ,25-28mm spacer hub centric (you can find them all at OPMUSTANG.COM) and the camber plates u have.
3. Coaching. Blayze online coaching is what you want. (former racers360). 100$ investment for way faster laps vs expensive mods is unbeatable.
Next. Bmr linear springs as re superior than yours. I would suggest them.
Swaybars are important. But this is not now
And most important... Did i tell you "have fun!" ?
Also likely that I might go with Steeda's magneride dual rate springs at this point for a little versatility. I'm up in Canada, so parts are hard to come buy other than the steeda canada headquarters an hour away lol
No, you would have to completely rip out your mageride shocks. It's also totally unnecessary unless you get very serious on being competetive. Your magneride dampers are awesome for dual duty car and the kit I linked in my first post would get you all you need in a balanced package that was designed to work together by Ford's performance division itself. The key benefit there is that your dampers will be tuned to work with upgraded springs and sway bars. For the price of this kit, it's a steal.
Most likely the Toronto Motorsport speedway. Bit of a drive, but I don't think there's any others outside of the Ajax area. That's why likely this'll be a weekend hobby a few times a yearoh, hello neighbor. if you don't mind me asking, what track do you want to go for your first event and which organization?
As @tosha said, you would swap coil overs for your current magneride. However, I would suggest when you get to the point of wanting to do mods, DSC makes a tuner for the magneride on your car, which gives you all the adjustability (and more) of a coilover. DSC's out of the box tunes are less than stellar, but there are folks on here who will help you tune it, if suspension tuning isn't your jam.
Yes that will work, assuming you are talking about a 19x10 wheel. It’s a very popular setup
