I'm in the market for a 2011-2012 5.0.

What dealer code or options address suspension upgrades. I'm buying the car for a weekend cruiser/autocrosser in the F Stock class and want to get the best handling package offered but I'm unsure of what is available and the verbage used to describe it.

I would assume a brembo car is what you are looking for, unless you get Boss.

I think Boss will take it out of F stock and put it in a different class, but I would need to double check that. Mostly looking for factory spring/shock packages, bigger sway bars and upgraded brakes. All of it has to be factory optioned.

Then I'd look at the GT500 packages like AM sells. Not sure if you can get Boss stuff or not without having to buy it straight from the dealer.

Like so:

I'm not sure you guys understand what I'm asking. I can't throw any aftermarket parts on the car. I'm wanting to know what factory options or dealer codes I should be looking for when shopping for the car.

Boss 302 or the GT with the Track Pack option. No aftermarket items.

If Boss or Boss Laguna is available, get that. If not track pack (which is brembo + boss radiator, oil cooler, and torsten diff). I have a 2012 Brembo and run F-stock.

There is a Boss 302 listed for sale in these VERY forums! Its been modified a little but the seller has all the original parts. Look in the S197 classifieds. Damned thing is practically new.
