      The susp under bumpy roads is great I took the new owner over a really broken up road of pavement and he was very impressed. My 00' s2000 and 01' Dodge Viper are way harsher rides. Both have stock setup.

    Hell yeah, been waiting for Ford to release the Handling packs for the Magnaride to improve it. This coupled with the BMR stop the hop kits, are gonna make the GT way better at the track. Now if only Ford would release a Tremec compatible transmission for the S550 GT and a trans cooler as well as a diff cooler like the GT350 has, that'd be awesome!

    "These springs are so we can make the car look how it should." Believe me I get it. The stock ride height means you can go over speed bumps, park in lots, and not worry about curb stops, etc. However...that "cat gap" does look like a bag of ass. Get the basic springs at a min. Just know, your front lip is gonna get chewed.
