Anyone have the FR Handling Pack?

FRPP is not a coil over kit

At this point - I am lost.

So what are these dampers that come with the FRPP?

If I get coil overs - what does that replace?

Please keep in mind I am still learning.

I'm considering getting the Ford Racing Handling Pack installed before taking delivery of my GT. Anyone want to talk me out of it? or into it?

Thanks!:SNSign:

Stock on my '07 and wouldn't have it any other way! Go for it!

If I were to use the FR kit - what the biggest sized rim I could put on? I wanted to put 18's on eventually.

I've got 20's on my (255 front / 275 rear) with no issues.

OK - Before I purchase...

I just want to make sure this isnt overkill for me. I am not looking to race my car or anything. I want to just lower it for looks.

Is this overkill and should I just do a coil over?

Daily driver here - its certainly more harsh than stock, BUT I didn't by my Stang to ride like a Caddy. I'd say the trade off is more than worth it both for looks and handling!

If memory serves me correctly, and I'm a bit rusty as I fell off the Mustang bandwagon for a few years , the dampers are just another word for the replacement shocks/struts that come with the kit. If you're going to lower you're car the right way, you need to replace the shocks/struts too to compensate for the lower ride height - especially since the FR kit drops the car a GOOD amount.

Coil overs place the shocks/struts inside the coil spring itself, rather than having the two located in different areas. Coilover thus refers to the coil spring being "over" the shock/strut; that makes for even better handling than just the FR kit alone (if anyone can add to that or correct any areas I steered right off the track, please do!).

That about sums it up. If you are just looking to lower the car and ultimate performance isn't needed stick with the springs and stock dampner/shocks. Coil overs are adjustable so you can actually change the ride hieght as you see fit...ie for different tracks and such......but, for a good set the cost almost double.
