I'm seriously looking at getting the Ford Racing Handling Pack but would like to see some feed back before I pull the trigger.

Does anybody have it on their 2015 GT? Any thoughts?

My car is a daily driver that will occasionally go on track, do autocrosses and enjoy some 'spirited' back road driving. I don't want a fully track dedicated suspension. I want a compromise between great handling and livable on the streets.

Wow. Living up to stereotypes here.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I doubt I comment here about the results.

Does having the Shaker 500 make me a "stereo types "?

LOLZ - well played.

But in regard to what I meant: yes. It's typical for us here: we open our wallets to make it better.

Getting the car around the course faster than you did last time just doesn't get the attention it should. We'd rather just plunk down more money to go faster in a straight line. No skill needed. Hell, software will take care of everything, don't even need a driver.
But to shave off another .1 of a second from your lap time? Nah, that takes too much work.

Go to Edmunds.com. They have been testing a long-term 2015 GT with Performance package. They installed the Ford Racing exhaust and just installed the Handling Pack. They have reviews of both.

Hey squishbang how is the ford racing handling pack working out for you? and are the results all good or half and half?

I love it. It does everything I was looking for: on street the ride is stiff but not punishing, on track the car stays flat through turns and there isn't any nose dive or lift during braking and acceleration.
I'm sure I can get better on track performance with a different kit, but being my daily driver with the occasional track visit this kit does want I need.


Keep in mind: I also have the Steeda subframe braces installed which also contribute to the overall results.


The downside to all of this goodness: my rear tires are smoked. There is almost no tread left. I've had absolutely too much fun. Oddly the front tires just show a little more than usual wear.


The next upgrades will be long tube headers, dyno tuning and a CF drive shaft.

Nice and so I take it there is alot less bouncing?
there is no such thing as too much fun
