I've installed the FR track kit in my '11 GT. Did it myself. Easy install. Did not need spring clamps to convert over.

Since it's a complete kit, everything works together. Comes with the GT 500 top mount (much beefier than stock) adjustable front sway, etc. Lowered the car 1". It was already off center from the factory. Installed an adjustable panhard bar (easy). Camber bolts cheap and did the trick. Camber plates will give you more adjustment but for once-in-a-while track time, don't go crazy.

Ride is stiff. Corners almost flat. Turns in nice. Reduced nose dive on braking a lot. Little oversteer on exit. Lots of fun.

The only thing I would suggest with the FR package is get the adjustable shocks for the extra $200
