Magneride.

I am unreasonably excited by this. Anyone venture a guess how much will this cost to retrofit a '15 with these dampers?

Rainbow colored unicorn with a chocolate horn. It's not impossible but they would require some kind of a PCM upgrade to control the shocks. Plus whatever other sensors they would need to add to monitor whatever it is they monitor to proactively adjust the damning rates on the fly.

GM has offered this suspension for years on the corvette and I've never seen or heard of it as an aftermarket upgrade.

Mainly because there a many who believe it is a "nice thing" versus the next best thing since sliced bread. Though I agree, the expense would be significant above the top of the line aftermarket system (airbag, coilover, springs/adjustable shocks) with a debatable advantage over their non-magnetic counterparts.

Don't get me wrong, I have driven a Corvette with Magneride and it was really nice. Also drove one with Z51, also really nice for what I want (those wanting a smooth ride disagree). I'd imagine it wouldn't be much different on a Mustang.

Out of curiosity, what is your goal?

A lot, probably a custom computer/harness/sensors just to control them. That is if it's even possible to tie all that into the main vehicle PCM to act as a whole unit. Doubtful it would run as a standalone.

You're probably better off trading the 15 in for an 18 already equipped with the magnaride.

I doubt there will be any aftermarket solutions. These dampers have position sensors to determine ride height and wheel speed during jounce/rebound. It would also require BCM programming (or external module) for the damping algorithms and for communications to other sensors.

Just get a quality coil over kit or handling upgrade package and call it a day. MR isn't all that much better and there are drawbacks. Leaky rod seals and lowering the ride height with aftermarket springs being two.

Unless you swap over ever single suspension component from the GT350, it would be almost impossible to have it function properly. It is dialed in for that car. To put it on a GT would cause it to not perform as expected. Suspension geometry, etc must be taken into consideration.

Why would you do a GT350 swap when the '18 GT is coming out with magneride?

I hadn't read that was actually happening. I've been under a rock the past few days. In that case.. it's more likely possible.
