Regular GT v Performance Pack & MagneRide

[TTown]

I had a regular regular 2019 GT without the perf. pack / magride. I never really cared for the sloppy, bobbing about feeling when pressing the car a little or on uneven or winding roads? In a 2024, would getting the perf. pack / magneride largely solve this?

Magnaride is great if you can afford it. The performance pack suspension is better than stock, but it's nothing you can't do on your own with aftermarket parts. It would probably be tough to find one without the PP but with MR though.

For S650 you HAVE to buy a GT Premium, WITH Performance Pack to be able to option in Magneride.

Being that you MUST buy the performance package to THEN have the ability to order magneride it is a very expensive proposition. I didn't bother and the car rides just fine to me.

ONLY if the MR setup comes with the GOOD dampers. In S550 this means the GT500/Mach1/GT350R units. I'm not clear what the SKUs are for S650. I would hope Ford pulled their head out of xxxx and ALL MR equipped cars have the same dampers, GT/EB and DH. But sadly I doubt it.

There are FAR cheaper ways to solve S550 suspension problems (the PP1 dampers are indeed laughable sh*te) than buying a new car.

I tried digging up info on this as well before we ordered our 2024 with MR. The only thing that I found was a comment posted by @TeamSteeda back in October, but they never followed up to my reply. Check out the post here:

Maybe they were too busy running their focus groups and implementing their "package protection" scheme to get back with you ...

The non-PP suspension is already comfortable for normal driving. I'd argue MagneRide's benefit is letting you get the Performance Package's stiffer suspension without losing street comfort.

We have both, the PP and the Magneride and it is an amazing driving car.

Hello!
As mentioned in the introduction I just purchased a 2024 GT and it comes with standard suspensions.
For a normal use in town and outside town, would be there any noticeable differences comparing with the magnaride suspensions? I’m not planning to go on tracks any time soon.

I already know that magneride gives a smoother ride, but I’m used to drive 4WD and old classics (1964 Mustang), so I would like to understand if there is a massive difference between standard suspensions and magneride.
Intention is to drive it for a few months as it is and then changing springs or all suspensions.
