Suggested Suspension Upgrades

[LSchicago]

I do have a set of base GT springs taken out at 1,000 miles if you are needing to soften up the ride a bit.

Steeda Pro-Active Shocks and Minimum drop springs. Perfect stance and great ride. And I live in P.R. Streets here are worse than N.Y

Yes. Pro-active will be the way to go. Just have to get the wife on board. I'm replacing the upper and lower grille so may have to wait until Christmas on the suspension. I greatly appreciate everyone's help!

It's an investment into her well-being

What tire pressure you run? Maybe drop a few pounds, nothing TOO much, might help short term and cheaper than any suspension upgrade.

I would go with the non adjustable. Thats just me though.

If you buy the adjustables you will tinker with them and never be happy.

You may not but it is human nature to "make it better"
Hel I have HP tuning software........

Swapping to the base (soft) springs

I used this setup with Bilstein B6's and that is a great combo. The steeda pro actions would probably pair well also but I have not tried them.

I'm on steeda min drop and pro actions for the handling, might go back to stock springs just for my old kidneys. The B6's and base springs are made for each other. After some conversations with steeda I think the pro actions will work just as well as the B6.

So when I'm having bad days I lower the air pressure a few pounds and that helps.

I adjusted them 3x and they are as good as they are gonna get with the spring combo I'm running. Havne't touched the adjusters since.

I'd be running the same corner 1000 times looking for another 100th

Might get a little for this one but 3P/3H Airlift. I happen to love mine and the ride quality but it’ll cost ya in the higher price range.

Hello everyone,

I have read as many threads as I could find on here regarding suspension upgrades. I still need more clarity. I have a 2019 GT w/ PP1 (w/o MagneRide) and I need some suggestions on suspension upgrades.

What I am wanting:

1: Better ride quality. I feel every bump and it is difficult to drive longer than an hour.
2: Would like to lower at least 1 inch.

I have looked at the Ford Performance Track Package. Nothing but excellent reviews on it. The problem is I have read that the PP1 comes with the front strut mount kit and rear toe link kit included in the Track Package. I do not want to pay for things I do not need/already have.

Are there any suggestions on suspension upgrades that would provide a very noticeable improvement? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

Kindly,

i have a pp1 and didnt want the entire track pack as the pp1 comes with some of the stuff already. what i did was just purchase

Ford Performance Track Lowering Spring Kit​

M-5300-YA​

Ford Performance Track Strut and Shock Kit​

M-18000-F​

just had it installed and its a nice upgrade. modest drop and the car feels way more planted now. i used to get a lot of nose dive when braking hard but now that is gone. its a bit more firm feeling but nothing jarring or uncomfortable.

the ONLY solution to this is soft-sidewall and taller tires.

For sure a great option. OP, swap out your summers and get a cushy all-season. Bump up an aspect ratio if you stay at stock ride height.

Swapping to the base (soft) springs instead of the PP1 springs would also help.

Agreed again. Base spring and pair with adjustable dampers. Set the dampers at full soft for rebound.

Do the tires first and reassess.
