I'm thinking about ordering the performance package on a 2016 GT.
Does the addition of this option make the every day ride much harsher?

It has stiffer suspension so it will ride a little rougher, but for the better! The PP is well worth the money, especially for the brembo brakes, just wish they were on the rear too, and color caliper options.

Thanks!

I daily drive my Ecoboost Performance Package Mustang and the ride is surprisingly good, not at all harsh.

Ride is subjective for sure. I find the PP great on good roads but pretty harsh on bad roads. I suggest driving both cars on rougher roads and go from there.


I like my PP but usually drive on good roads.

I don't find it particularly harsh myself but the bigger radiator, 6 pot brakes, and torsen really make it worth the extra bucks.

I have the PP with the Eibach Sportlines, so it's pretty low. I have no issues with the ride, and actually find it much better than my 06 which has a moderate spring/suspension kit (from Ford Racing). The IRS on the new cars makes a big difference to the ride IMO.

The price for the PP is a bargain compared to getting it done afterwards, I say go for it.

Good point! Since I live in California and our road system resembles roads in the Third World I'll defenitely try both!
