I've got a 06 GT in desperate need of a suspension upgrade. I've been looking at the Ford Racing M-FR3A-MGTA kit.
Traction is a huge concern, as I have a 4.6 stoker in the works, that I will be dropping my Eforce on.
Due to the vast selection of suspension parts available I'm having difficulty choosing a kit or building my own part by part.

Some input would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Depends on what your goal is. Straight line traction? If so, slap on some BMR LCA's and UCA, Eibach drag launch springs and Strange Adjustable shocks and struts. Finish it off with some mickey T's when its warm weather

The car is a shaow car/ weekend wairror. I'm looking for straight line traction, but would like something that isn't going to feel like it's roll over on a tight freeway turn. It looks like your engine build is quite similar to mine. Whats your suspension set up? my goal is 650 rwhp, do you have a really hard time putting that to the ground?

I daily drive my car all year round, and also flog it at the track a few times a season.
On the Front, I have:
*Swaybar delete - seriously cannot really tell much of a difference on the street, except it rides much nicer.
*BMR K-member & control arms
*Strange 10 way Adj struts (set at 1 click track, 5 clicks street)
*GT500 strut mounts
*Eibach Drag Launch springs
On the Rear:
*Whiteline Watts Link
*Whiteline swaybar
*Steeda Billet LCA's
*BMR LCA relocation brackets
*J&M Adj. UCA
*Strange 10 way Adj. shocks (5-left & 6-right clicks track, 5 clicks street)
*Roush 3/4" lowering springs
Track Wheels & Tires
*Racestar 17x4.5 front w/ M&H runners
*Racestar 15x10 rear w/ 295/55/15 Mickey ET II Drag Radials
Street Wheels & Tires
* Forgestar CF5 w/ Conti ExtremeContact DW (summer) 255/45/18 & 285/40/18
* Forgestar F14 w/ Conti ExtremeContact DWS (winter) 255/45/18 & 275/40/18

At the track, it really depends on the track prep, but most of the time you cannot just go WOT at the line. You have to give it a good punch to get it out of the hole and then go WOT. I do a quick 3 count. I have done as low as a 1.56 60' but most of the time it is around 1.7-1.8.

You will have a hard time getting 650 rwhp with the E-Force without tuning for Race Gas or E-85. You will only be able to squeeze out 17-18 lbs of boost maximum. I am maxed out on 93 octane to get my power.
