PP2 Parts?

Just wondering if anyone has made a list of the parts needed to replicate the Performance Pack Lv2 on a PP1 car.

That's a good but costly idea.

That's a good but costly idea.

My understanding is it is: springs/shocks, swaybars, wider wheels and a retune for the magneride. I wouldn't expect it to be SUPER pricey, but I'm more just wondering.

Take both list on Ford website and mark the differences.

Outside of the wheels & tires, it has unique Magneride dampers and springs, unique front knuckles, and unique EPAS and abs tuning.

This should cover you for the MR tuning and springs: https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9602-M (although based on the description this drops the car a bit and firms up the sway bars). Won't address the other parts that BmacIL mentioned above though.

So one needs to buy the FP kits, find the EPAS/ABS tuning, 305 tires, dampeners and the knuckles? That's easier than I expected.

Knuckles and dampeners can be had from Ford Parts probably. Maybe even the ABS module.

Is the steering ratio the same or is that just an electronic part swap too?

Sport Cup 2's. Not exactly just any 305...

Then you have to put on that huge front splitter. I see no reason to upgrade to any of the pp2 stuff.

Yeah that splitter, while probably functional, definitely needed to stop by the design department.

I like keeping things Ford branded if I can.

Why do you want to replicate a PP2 in the first place?

Would just like to have a car that has both packages, or as close as I can replicate. Bullitt power and PP2 handling.

It wouldn't be cost effective whatsoever, but can be done; at least I think it would be able to. I think where the main issues of trying to reproduce the package would be trying to get the updated and re calibrated Magneride, EPAS, ABS and Stability Control Tuning settings. I am sure a PP1/Bullit car with Magneride could accept an update to PP2 specs, but not sure about other items. But items such as the heavy duty GT350/R style hubs, wide wheels, and tires that the PP2 has get costly very quickly.

Does your car have MagneRide? Assuming you do.

I think some carefully chosen suspension parts (sway bars, springs, bushings, etc) will get you the handling you are looking for but you may be missing the "track inspired" calibrations the PP2 car offers. The neat thing about MagneRide over coilovers or good handling MacPherson strut packages, is you get the option of softer or stiffer rides and the capability to tune from the dash.

A better way to go would have been buy a PP2 car and purchase the items (a tuner) to get Bullitt power. That would be a piece of cake and much cheaper.

The replica PP2 wheels are about $1200-1300. The knuckles can probably be bought from FordParts. Ford sells a Spring/Strut package that is one step over PP2 for under 1K that includes the Magneride tune. Really the only part that would be hard would be the ABS/EPAS/Stability control. Which may partly just be some control module swaps or flash.

If I did the reverse I'd still have to get a GT350 IM, TB and intake. Also not really able to get the Green aftermarket without a few grand.

Are you planning on tracking ever? If not, it's a very moot point.
