FiaCobra Posted June 4, 2008 Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Anyone know the differences between the GT-500 and KR suspension? I have a GT-500 but would like to work on the suspension to rid the rear wheel hop, and to lower it. I'd like to stick with FRPP or Shelby parts.

FiaCobra Posted June 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2008 Ok, so basically the only differences would be the springs and sway bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6-Speed Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 I don't believe the KR uses the FRPP M-5300-L lowering springs. Multiple articles I've read indicate the KR is lowered versus the GT500 by only 0.6 inches (15mm) in the rear and 0.79 inches (20mm) in the front, which is not quite as much as the 1.25" (32 mm) numbers for the M-5300-L springs.

ColdwaterHotrod Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Just wait until the KR production run is over & then I'm sure the parts will be available in the aftermarket by SVT under a different "code name" including the struts, shocks, springs & sway bars.
