I am sorry if you misunderstood my post. I don't believe I said it was an overpriced system. My intent was to say it was a very good set up and you and the op should enjoy it.

 

You are so polite

What a contrast to other posts by some others.

 

I wanted to stay with whatever FR sold for the warranty. I did add the $2495 extra 3 year warranty, but only after I said no and then he lowered the price to $1495. So they said all the work they do will be covered for 6 years instead of 3 years. I also like that FR also sells (thru the dealer) the Tremec T56 if the time comes to add a new transmission, or supercharger or anything else. Once out of warranty, then I can get things fixed somewhere else. There is a auto shop that is one mile from my house that also races and does the best work I have ever seen....detail, detail, detail. Or I can even go to Hennessey who I know personally to get things done who offers 3 year warranty. I like that the Mustang has so many options for the owner.

 

Congrats on the suspension upgrade, it is good that it also lowers the car 1 inch. It does handle better. I was wondering did they tell you what level of damping and rebound the fixed one is set on compared to the adjustable.

 

well said

 

First, I want to say I love this suspension too. I have the adjustable version and I installed it myself. Pricing seems all over the map, so keep in mind, shop well and you can negotiate with your distributor. If a dealer tries to tell you, " They can't discount it because they make so little profit on it Ford Racing parts." walk away. I heard that most and I still found someone else who will cut prices. Of course, the Internet is a great solution too.

My point for this post is a noise I noticed from the Eibach-sourced anti-roll bars that come with this kit (albeit painted blue with FR logo). The rear suspension had a noise when making turns with bumps. I pulled parts out to check. Seems the aluminum mounting bracket on the rear roll bar, at the top mount, uses an M12 bolt through the metal bushing sleeve. I bought my own 1/2" bolts...much better fit. The OE bolt is an M12 and I think Eibach just matched the bolt...mistake in my opinion. They should have matched their own steel bushing sleeve. At any rate, if you hear a noise like I have, it could be simple bolt swap. Shouldn't be the case, but at least it's easy to do. It seems to have fixed the noise. I believe the bushing/bracket was moving up and down during bar flexing in turns and subsequently that metal sleeve was banging on the smaller diameter bolt. Haven't heard the noise since.

As an aside, I think the rear damper rubber bushings are lame. The top bushing totally flattens out and the threads "bottom out" on the damper shaft. I ended up using the OE top bushing instead. I thought this may have been the source of my noise, but alas, the roll bar mount was it. Still very lame bushings on the damper all the same.

 

Does anyone have an opinion of the FRPP pack vs the Maximum motorsports road and track pack? I have a 2012 GT, pretty much stock except for pads and tires, and looking for a upgrade on suspension. DD with 5, 6 track days a year. All opinions welcome.

 

MM suspension kit is a much better package than the FRPP kit. We offer a kit very similar to the MM package as well, more options and adjustable with better dampening struts and shocks equal a much better system.

 

link to craigs list add please?

 

To the OP or anyone else that might know; other than the shocks and struts, what parts are different from a Brembo brake pkg. or Trak Pak in the FR suspension package the OP installed?

 

Sway bars, springs, and bump stops. Oh and strut mounts. The fr package uses the gt500 strut mounts.

 

Thanks
I'm thinking about the same FR adjustable suspension as the OP, but I don't want to lower the car any (if you saw my driveway you'd understand). Is there that big of a difference between the Brembo pkg. springs and the FR springs?

 

You are looking at a one inch drop with the Ford racing springs. They also have an inch and a half drop option too. I've read about folks using the Ford racing/ tokico shocks and struts with good results. The koni sports and brembo springs also have received good reviews. I have koni sports and love them. I believe the konis are on sale right now. I bought through Jay at hypermotive and couldn't be happier with the price and service.

 

Thanks
