PP Question

[exm]

Once a good deal is found, I too, will be looking to lower the car. How much did you lower the front and back?

I have been "watching" a couple cars with PP and MagneRide.

The one I ordered lowers 0.8125” all around. I specifically didn’t want to go beyond 1” myself.

I can only tell you this…. I drove a non PP and a PP GT and to me, both manuals btw, the PP handled, drove, accelerated and just felt so much better than the GT. That’s what I went with. The 3:73’s plus all the other dark horse bits (extra cooling, larger radiator etc) just made it a no brainer.

If I were to do it all over again, I’d still wait and buy the PP version.

puts a smile on my face and very time I get in her.

I'm with you -- no more than an inch. Low is cool, but best to play it smart.

Thank you.

BTW -- lovein your Race Red.

Thanks man… I was NOT wanting Red. Hadn’t even considered it as an option- but it was the only one spec’d as I wanted it- 301A, PP, AE Manual with Red Brembos.
MSRP was $58,600… after D Plan and Rebates paid just around $50k… which I was super happy with.

and the Red grew on me and now I love it!!! Good luck on your journey. I’ve already added the Ford Performance AOS, Floor Mats (60 oz), Rear Cargo All Weather Mat, Illuminated Door Sills and just ordered the Steeda rear subframe braces.

Next spring will be the Ford Performance Supercharger Kit (retains warranty - my son is a Ford Tech and will install it for free), as well as complete Katzkin Interior makeover.

Love this car more every day- Revs to 7500 RPM (higher with the Whipple), and just screams!

enjoy

Awesome to have a Ford tech in the family. Sweet!

$50K? 24 or 25? How long ago? I would KILL for a 401A, PP, red Brembos at that price. Add MagneRide to the equation and I would pay more. Difficult to find in my area.

2025… $3500 in rebates took delivery in October. I had to go from Dallas to Illinois for the dealer trade though - gotta look throughout the country!

You bought the car in IL? Off the lot? Thats where I'm located, but no go. You beat me to it! LOL

That’s super funny… but honestly I’d look in areas up north with snow - they will be begging to get rid of them. RWD cars in the winter up north sit and don’t sell

Glad to hear about the 24's. I'm a little nervous about buying a 24 that's been sitting in the elements for a year or more. I'm SUPER anal, so will tread carefully.

I bought my 2024 in early November of 2025. No issues so far - 3,300 miles and counting!

Funny about the red color. I ordered race red and I continue to like it more each day. If a person likes red it's great.

I got a base auto GT zero options and I regret not getting PP and active exhaust.
It's hard to find one spec'd w/PP near me (Northern California), and if one wants a good deal, probably better to go the custom order route via Granger.
