Question on: Track Handling Pack (M-FR3A-M8

[TheMark]

I'm considering the Track Handling Pack for my 2017 GT (non-PP).

Question #1: Does this kit have adjustable camber plates on top of the struts?

Question #2: If it doesn't have camber plates, should I bother adding them?

I'm getting bad tire wear on the inside of my front tires, and want to ensure that I can correct that once I replace the tires.

Thanks, Mark

It's never a bad idea to have them, but no it doesn't. Inside tire wear is almost always due to excessive toe, not camber.

Thank you! I’ve done suspension upgrades on previous cars but the convenience of not dealing with spring compressors is appealing in this package. If I don’t need them to address tire wear... I think I’ll skip them.

I just got this track pack last week but it's been too damn cold here lately to install it :(

No adj camber plates your basically swapping out stock shock/springs w/o taking there tops off. They bolt right in.

I'm going to install the kit and get an alignment done to the specs included in the instruction manual it came with. Should be fine for tire wear.

I'd consider camber bolts during the installation.

I would have sworn that I had previously seen FRPP listing S550 camber bolts to go with their kits but I don't see them now.

I second this. I needed camber bolts for mine. I eventually replaced them with plates.

I think Steeda also offers fully assembled kits if there is another type of spring you're interested in.

The Ford kit includes all you need for an alignment within Ford specs. It is meant to run more camber than the base coupe suspension. If you want to run the alignment specs that your car came with, you may need camber plates/bolts. If you wish to run the track suspension within the specs Ford recommends, you won't need camber plates or bolts. Mine is a daily driver within Ford track suspension specs without the camber plates or bolts. My tread wear is very good.

What is the difference in parts comalring your GT’s original PP suspension to the new FFRP Track Handling suspension kit?

How do you like the new suspension as far as daily driving, function and performance? I mean, like in the sense of driving over the same roads after the FFRP installation compared to what you were used to with the factory PP suspension?

Interested in hearing this as well.

The ride height is perfect.

The difference in parts compared to original PP suspension are: Shocks, struts, springs, front sway bar, rear stabilizer bar, toe knuckle bearings. The toe links are the same as the PP.

I did all my suspension modifications at the same time, so I can't comment on the Ford track package alone, but I daily drive my car and the NVH is not that much greater. But NVH is a very personal measure and what is not noticeable to me, might drive someone else nuts. It handles much better with less body roll and less brake dive. It is much more planted when accelerating from a stop. I have no regrets on any of my suspension mods and wouldn't hesitate to do them again. The drop is also very manageable for a daily driver and I do not find the car bottoming out on speed bumps, etc, but I use common sense when driving.

I have the Ford Racing Track Pack kit with on my 2016 Auto. No issues with rubbing at all, and the suspension is great for a daily driver. I also do HPDE events and beat many mustangs, corvettes and more... No regrets at all.

If you really want more camber, get camber plates from Steeda. I might do it evetually(but they are not needed)

I have had this kit for about 2 years. Daily Driven and have put about 40,000 miles to date No complaints from any passengers. One of the biggest improvements thus far. I did swap out the springs for a different ride height as a personnel preface. Since I had the V6
