IMO those birds nest wheels are heavy I would go with someone else

I don't disagree, but it's what I want. If there was an aftermarket version with the exact same width and stance I'd go that route. Like the LMR version. But I want that front poke. There are other options with the same stance but I like the looks of the birds nest wheels. I've been all over flip flopping on what I want so I'm just gonna go this route.

Could also get 4 LMR 19x11 wheels, longer front studs, and 1" spacers for the front. Use the same size tire all around and you could also rotate them with this setup.

I'm getting lost with this rear spoiler. I know that you can only buy it in gloss black. But what's the deal in the part number differences.

I see M-16600-FP listed commonly on like LMR, Steeda, etc., but most forums quote part KR3Z-6344210-AA, but also found JR3Z-6344210-AA. Which of these is correct? I'm so lost they all look exactly the same.

Same thing, one is the Ford Performance kit (M-16600-FP) with both spoiler and gurney flap sold as an accessory. The others are the spoiler ONLY just different part number revisions.

This is what I have and a much better setup than the factory PP2 or HP 10.5/11" wheels.

OK, got it, just have to figure out if I want to fool with painting it or not.

That wheel tire fitment looks good with the HP wheels, I thought I remembered the HP was slightly lower than the none HP, but maybe I'm wrong. Which kit did you go with? Did you also do the diff bushing upgrade? The less I buy the happier I'll be lol.

We were on the dragon on the 21st while it was so warm as well. Hardly anyone out, it was a lot of fun.

FYI, the Handling Package comes with other things as well that non HP doesn't get. It has stiffer suspension springs, bigger sway bars, the camber plates, different toe links I think? And a friend at Ford HQ once told me that the Magneride and other electronics on the car were also calibrated and tuned differently that you allegedly can't replicate unless Ford did it. Some people seem to think the car will automatically calibrate but that's not what I heard. Regardless, it's actually pretty hard to do a real HP conversion. I don't actually know if the part about the electronics is true, I just know that I've chimed in on people trying to do an HP conversion, and they were surprised to hear about the hidden things on the suspension. Having driven both a non HP car and my own sticker HP, they feel vastly different to me. Non HP cars feel like my GTPP.

Thanks, however I've already spent the money so I'll soon know first hand lol.
