Opinions on Ford Racing Suspension Kit
Hey everyone just wanted to know if anyone is running The Ford Racing Suspension Kit? (PART # M2005FR3) I wanted to know what you guys think of it. Will I need to purchase anything in addition to this kit to make it all work? Will I need a camber kit? Or anything like that? I’ve always had imports so your were just able to drop the car on lowering springs and go. Any help is appreciated. How is the price at $1500 Canadian?
Or would I be better off getting a set of Ford racing springs or Eibach's and a set of Koni street shocks at half the price?
FORD RACING WRITE UPLooking for more street manners and an aggressive lowered stance? Grab hold of our Handling Pack! The uniquely tuned dampers are specifically designed for the lowered stance and cornering of the springs and anti-roll bars that are included in this kit. The Ford Racing strut tower brace stiffens up the front end, putting the power to the ground instead of flexing the chassis. A great way to add a little FR500C to your street Mustang!
-Fits 2005-07 Mustang GT Coupe
-Kit includes:
Dampers M-18000-A
Lowering Springs M-5300-K
Sway Bars M-5490-A
Strut Tower Brace M-20201-S197. Strut tower brace does not clear 2007 with plastic engine cover
-All components are designed to work together as a package
-Lowers car approximately 1-1/2"
-Dampers, uniquely tuned by Multimatic Motorsports (the same company that makes dampers for the FR500C race car)
-Some factory fasteners are one time use. Please reference service manual for reuse information and correct torque specifications.

I was going to get the same exact kit in spring of 06 for my 05gt and the parts guy said unless you are road racing this is overkill. I just went with Steeda spring and saved $$$$$. Metro Ford at the time (o6) had the kit plus install for 2300.00 which to me was reasonable. Good luck with your choice/options.
