Magnaride set up 101

[Veteran]

So with a bit of luck my new GT PP with magnaride should arrive in the next 2 weeks.
I have read about everything I can find, but it’s bits of info all over.

GOAL : similar tight mountain carver to a M2 competition , Giulia QV etc
It will also be a daily driver, so a touch of compliance will be good.

Prefer brands with backup like Ford performance , Steeda or BMR

There are lowering springs , braces, bushes and a bunch of suspension accessories on the market.
So I could brainlessly buy everything, or I could carefully choose what is needed to transform into a “ sports” car.

I am sure many of you have been down this road, and I would appreciate some solid advice on how to handle this project.
As I do my own spannering, it would be a bonus to take the suspension apart only once and get all the work done in one go.

Thanks .........

following. It’s difficult to find answer to the sort of question you are asking with Magnaride. Lots of opinions, but not sure how much of that is experience.

I didnt like the diving and pitching under acceleration and braking in my car. I first bought Steeda 1" drop springs and loved them for ride quality and performance. The brake dive and the hood lifting squats were gone. Even the waving of the rear end under high speed braking stopped. Just that purchase made the car work alot better and zero issues with fitment, noise, install etc.. After several HDPE events I dove deeper into and purchased the ford handling pack and that purchase is a significant change in the car and handling. As it is a full system using swaybars, springs, and magnaride reflash. I think for most daily drivers the Steeda option is pretty hard to beat for cost vs performance.
