Dark Horse Magneride question -- Magnetic Damping System the same?

[knuklz]

So ive seen mixed things about this topic. I see that the Dark Horse comes standard with Mangeride. But then in the Dark Horse Handling Package there is "Magnetic Damping System". So is there a difference between those two? Or do i have to order the Handling Package in order to get Magneride?

Same system but programming may be slightly different

This had me scratching my head too. Because everything I'm reading online says Magneride is standard with DH.

And this would make sense. MR is standard, just different with the HP. Kinda makes it look like you get even less for the money with HP.

If you go back and look at the GT PP vs. Mach 1 vs Mach 1 HP, there were subtle physical differences between the suspensions. IMO, the Magneride units installed to support those different suspensions operated differently, with different car suspension tunes supporting those uniquely-optioned packages and models.

2021, 2022, the GT PP had, "unique chassis tuning", while in the Mach 1 HP used, "unique Mach 1 HP chassis tuning". Same Magneride, but I always took it (the car, in directing Magneride) to be programmed differently, so as to take advantage of the different subframe, tires, sway bars, spring rates, brakes and alignment settings.

I suspect the 2024 GT, GT PP and DH to be akin to the above.

Then when you look at this https://performanceparts.ford.com/part/M-9602-M it says:

NOTE: Customers with a Performance Pack 2 equipped Mustang can upgrade by installing only the M-5300-W Spring Kit and M-5490-G Sway Bar Kit

NOTE: Mach 1 Base and Mach 1 HP have unique MagneRide suspension calibrations similar to PP2
