    Bought the FRPP Track suspension kit for my 17 base GT. WOW! I dont track my car only street and it's not harsh but firm. Highly recommend this it's been 1.5years later and I still think it's the best mod I've installed so far.

      @@adriandude85 don't waste your money on power pack 2 I had it also. The no lift shift is annoying as it causes this bucking in throttle that you can't disable under hard acceleration. I didn't notice any power gain but my butt Dyno. Complete waste of money. Also no extra induction noise from the gt350 intake either.
      The susp under bumpy roads is great I took the new owner over a really broken up road of pavement and he was very impressed. My 00' s2000 and 01' Dodge Viper are way harsher rides. Both have stock setup.

    Hell yeah, been waiting for Ford to release the Handling packs for the Magnaride to improve it. This coupled with the BMR stop the hop kits, are gonna make the GT way better at the track. Now if only Ford would release a Tremec compatible transmission for the S550 GT and a trans cooler as well as a diff cooler like the GT350 has, that'd be awesome!

    "These springs are so we can make the car look how it should." Believe me I get it. The stock ride height means you can go over speed bumps, park in lots, and not worry about curb stops, etc. However...that "cat gap" does look like a bag of ass. Get the basic springs at a min. Just know, your front lip is gonna get chewed.
