Has any with a Brembo Package or Track Package used any of these 3 with stock springs?
This was my set up, but changed my stock springs because IMO the Brembo spring were to floaty.........Koni Spotrs adjustable Struts And Shocks, Ford Racing Jounce bumbers, Steeda Sport Lowering Springs and Heavy Duty Strut Mounts w/ Camber adjustments, Stranoparts 1 3/8in adjustable hollow Front sway, Helwig 1in adjustable solid rear sway bar, Steeda sway bar mount kit, UMI subframe connectors, Steeda LCA relocation brackets, BMR Pan hard Rod, DOM, On-car Adjustable, Polyurethane Bushings (not the bar showing in pic) And the ride is awesome !!!! Like night and day !!!!

Not to get off topic but do subframe connectors help on this body style coupe or is it still something mostly for the verbs?

Helps for any body style, but since I plan on supercharging it, for a vert, that make it a definite !!!

How would the Koni Yellows go with the FRPP P springs on a 2014 TP/Brembo GT?

Looking to lower slightly to reduce wheel gap, improve handling but maintain a decent ride.

Not a DD - but - just for street at the moment.

Thanks!

From everything I've heard, the Yellows on full soft ride like the STR.Ts.

That's a pretty **** good ride, but I'm not sure it really needs anything stiffer for the street. I changed for the exact same reason, and I'm happy.

Also, don't want to get off topic but I've also got a 2012 vert. Wondering how you mounted the UMI subframe connectors? UMI's own website says: Will NOT fit convertible...it interferes with the OEM rear vert braces. Pics would really be great!

That is correct and I had the OEM braces removed. Then I had the sub-frame connectors installed by Ford Racing Techs at an authorized Ford Racing dealership.

I personally think the Koni yellows are the best in this price range. We've been running these on multiple cars from DD/ street/ auto X/ open track days and so on. Give us a shout, we have these on sale along with our discount code for all forum members

So, you're just running the UMI subframe braces without the
OEM rear brace? Anything tying in the rear?
