First mods to your Mach 1

[ChitownStang]

I had the Ford Perfomance on my 2016 GT and now have the Redline on my Bullitt. The Redline are better IMO and if you sign up with Steeda (should be a pop up window when you go on their website), you get 10% off.

Usually only 10% on "steeda" parts
bt I could be wrong

If you order from Steeda, you might as well get some low profile jacking rails and, if you want the rear end to be more planted, their Rear IRS Subframe Support Braces.

I don't think I'd mess with the Mach 1 suspension at all.

I think it is on your order if more than $75

Braces shouldn't mess with suspension, its just chassis stiffening a little. But would first see how you like it stock. The IRS, when pushed hard, feels a little "loose" IMO

I thought they addressed this with stiffer sway bars and other shelby gt500/350 parts used on the Mach 1 suspension

I think those brackets are additional pieces that have nothing to do with the factory set up of sway bars etc. Mine have been sitting in the box since December (no time yet to install) so I can't speak to installation but remember watching videos where it shows that they are a mere bolt-on part. Heard a lot of good things about them and like I said, the rear end (at least on my Bullitt) feels a little loose when pushed harder

I had them on my 15Gt and I agree they were great.. pretty easy to install.
I actually did it twice since first ones started rusting

Those have not so much to do with how the cradle behaves as such.
It's a rather straight forward installation. I would also consider dong the cradle alignment kit while I am on it. Would also do a wheel alignment afterwards.

I spoke to Ford Performance and the gent there recommended these saying that there are differences...

If Redline fits and works better then I'm gonna order those too, despite liking the look of Ford Performance more.

Where did you order from ? And how much was the total?

I changed my mind about those when others here say Redline works better. Or here too:

Directly from USA or maybe I'll choose Steeda kit from their UK store.

I just want to make sure they fit. The Ford Performance person said what I mentioned ( https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-16826-MA ) is what he would get...
