shelby gt500 kr suspension setup
anyone using the shelby kr suspension on their cars? if so, how do you like it?
about a year ago, i bought the kr suspension setup, m23000kr, from ford racing which consisted of shocks, springs, and struts assembled on gt500 strut mounts. this replaced the brembo/track pack suspension parts on my 13 gt. i found the ride to be a little harder than stock and the height of the car to be about one inch lower. though the parts were made to handle the heavier shelby engine, i did not find the front of the car to be higher than the back. all in all, i am quite satisfied with my choice of parts, but the thought of knowing the kr parts were engineered for the shelby gt500 does give me concerns that i am using items not designed for my car. i am thinking of switching out the springs for steeda ultra lights and also going for some koni str shocks but don't know if it will be worth the expense. anyone have any thoughts? currently the car handles fine for my street driving purposes.

Now is the time to get the Koni Shocks ... they are currently on sale & paired with the discount code for the springs ... we can save you even more on the combo.

The Steeda springs & Koni Shocks have been a tremendous combo ... you will be happy with them.
If you would like to send me your contact info ... I can have one of our suspension experts reach out to you & get you to your goal of a "less harder" than current set-up.
You can p.m. me or reach me at tim@steeda.com.
Best Regards,
TJ

besides the kr struts, shocks, and springs, i also have steeda lca, steeda adj panhard bar, and steeda adj front and rear sway bars. i had these parts installed before the kr parts and with the stock brembo/track pack suspension, the car rode pretty hard already. the kr parts just made the car ride harder. but if i do change to the steeda ultra springs and koni shocks, the car may ride too soft for me, so i'll probably just keep the current set up unless something changes my mind.
thanks for the replies.
