Curious why the staggered tires but not wheels?

Is there a noticeable improvement in handling with the Dual rate magnaride springs?

Because I’m a cheap bastard and I got the wheels for $800! These are the clearance wheels from LMR.

Additionally I’ve seen other Machs with the 19x11 front and I love the look.

So far I notice that car a touch bit firmer. I haven’t tossed it around any corners yet so I can’t confirm if handling is improved.

the IRS is more planted with the Steeda IRS goodies. You can feel the rear more “stable” on hard acceleration. The swaying feeling I would get before on heavy acceleration is just about gone.

No I get that, but why not 305 all around so you can rotate them and such?

Oh! I had bought brand new tires in December. They have all of 500 miles in them.

next time I will got 305 all around.

Beautiful car! 305/30 front right? For some reason the front tire looks really tall in the second picture.

Yes. 305/30r19 fronts.

Unfortunately I can't compare to a M1 without the DR. I have had DR on both my GT and now the M1. The ride is perfectly "fine" even for all-time street use. That said the Ohlins are VASTLY better and I am also going to toss the rear DRs and go back to stock.

If you want to better support the front of the car and you have Magride, just get the DR fronts

Are you still using the factory camber plates? I have the same set-up ready to go on, and want to confirm the factory plates will work. Thanks

Yes. I took out the set screws. When I reinstalled my struts after the spring change I put them at max negative camber.
Initial camber at alignment was about -2.9 camber.

Ended up at -2.5 camber

How's the ride on bumpy roads? I have the dual rates sitting in here in a box, but recent threads and posts have me concerned about the rear being too stiff. FWIW, my wheels and tires are almost identical to yours-19x11 SVE SP2's all around.

just do the fronts. Get a PROPER alignment (not Ford specs) and evaluate.
