Naa-V-Doc Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Seeking advice: I have been thinking about putting the KR Strut's, Shock's, and Springs on my 07 SGT. By adding these to the SGT will it benefit the handling of the SGT? And, would it pose any issues to the stock Ford Racing Package (lowered 1.5 inches etc)? Thanks in advance.

dbowles22 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Here is a qoute from someone on the KR forum who traded in an SGT for his KR "I don't personally think that the KR in stock would be that much of a performer on the track. Just in challenging myself on the backroads here locally, the difference in stock SGT that I traded in for the KR is considerable." Heres the link to the topic: http://www.teamshelby.com/forums/index.php?/topic/63637-what-did-your-kr-get-for-christmas/page__st__40 Dont know if this will help you but you might want to ask some questions about the comparisson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc There is a weight difference between the KR and the SGT. You might end up sitting higher than your current SGT ride height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank S Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 There is a weight difference between the KR and the SGT. You might end up sitting higher than your current SGT ride height. Absobloominlutely true: the experts agree the stiffer springs will raise a stock Mustang GT by half an inch. If the Shelby GT Mustang is lower than the stock GT, the rise will be even more remarkable. Those same experts agree the upgraded struts and shocks are about 15% more controlling than stock. Sway bars would be good, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
07-2937 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 honestly I dont think it would be any kind of upgrade... if anything it would raise your car and the dampening would also be for a heavier car!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naa-V-Doc Posted January 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 22, 2011 Thanks - That is what I was thinking (ride height) would be to much. So, it's a NO GO for me. I value all that helped with advise and posts. Doc - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
