Yeah, what @Biggsy said. You can buy them pretty cheap from a Ford parts store. Levittown Ford, Tasca, take your pick. I'm sure the part numbers are readily available and on the forum somewhere.

@valentinoamoro has the GT350R springs.

Thank you

 

[Biggsy]

Thank you

no problem...i see you are in baltimore...i work literally right next to BWI and live in Hanover. If all goes well and I can get my LCA bearings pressed in, I plan to do my suspension overhaul (everything listed in my signature) next weekend. You can "try before you buy" if you would like to get a feel. Just throwing that offer out there.

@Biggsy @markbehr - We should meet up!

You will enjoy my friend - once you get all that installed.

Actually i live in Crofton and work at Fort Meade and i will certainly consider your offer. Sounds good.

I agree

Hahaha. Another one to join the club. Well, I will eagerly await your impressions on it. It's funny when friends go to install parts on their cars, I think I get more excited than they do lol. Hearing the feedback is part of the fun for me.

What springs do you recommend using with the stock PP1 dampers?

The BMR or Steeda minimum drop would work well.

sweet. So anyway do you @Bluemustang and @Biggsy hang out at any local events or cars and coffee.

Ill be keeping the stock 19 PP1 dampers

Why? They need to go, especially the rears.

The BMR minimum drop springs are nearly identical in rate to the PP1 springs. Don't bother.

I threw an extra 160lbs into the trunk of my '19 PP1 (2 sets of 15" rotors, a set of rears) and the handling improved believe it or not. It wasn't all peaches though - side-to-side chassis rock at the rear definitely increased as would be expected. Instead of the rear launching/kicking upward on decent bumps I now got a decently hard thump and much reduced hop. But it also became readily apparent that the comp damping on the rear shocks is ridiculously too high - bumps were not being properly absorbed. We already know the rebound valving on these is woefully inadequate. If the comp valving isn't also way off, my money is on the Nitrogen PSI being much too high.

Drop a pair of 45lb weights (dumbell or plate) into the wheel well and try it out yourself.
