Ford Performance Street Handling pack experience

[IPOGT]

I have the GT Performance Pack. My car will be Supercharged. I will still need this? I was just gonna get a Stop The Hop package and the other stuff for my suspension.

No one Really “needs” any of this stuff.

Au contraire, Pierre. The need is deep. The need is strong.

This is not the package I'd get if drag is your thing.

No dragging. Just rely fast driving along mountain twisties. And maybe some time at VIR.

To be honest and all kidding aside a stock PP1 car is beyond the ability of 90% of the people who drive them. So yes you technically don't need it. However, it definitely is an improvement over the PP1 setup if you get the Track kit.

Street kit? No. The kit would be mostly repetitive for a PP car. You’re better off ordering the street kit’s X springs independently, add good dampers (Bilstein etc), and adjustable sway bars.

Frankly, though, a good set of dampers and a hefty front sway bar is all the PP needs to be a beast.

I’ve got the FRPP track handling pack and I’m really happy with it, but it is a bit much if you’re not tracking the car. Initially I was bothered by how tight the suspension was and how much more you felt every imperfection in the road. One year and several track events later, I’m really happy with my investment. I am realizing now....I installed it the day before IL got locked down last year. Feels like 5 years ago.

I feel so lucky, I found a full Track Kit used but never installed for $800, best mod so far.

Mild increase in spring rate, too, but yeah, doesn't need that much.

Will this work on Magneride?

Nope. There is a kit for magnaride cars. Cheaper too.

So, if I install this I won't need the Stop the Hop kit?

Are you sure? Sorry the angle makes it a bit tough to compare directly...
The fender lip is below the 265/40 outer diameter.

Here it is with the factory suspension.
