Default What can be swapped over from the 2011+ GT over to the V6?

Hey guys. I've tried searching around for a specific thread about this subject and so far I have found that most all body parts are interchangeable: Headlights, bumpers, hoods...ect also too I know based on what the Performance Package states that shocks and springs are also interchangeable, but what else?

..maybe the brakes are interchangeable as well would be my guess, along with control arms.

What GT parts are you looking for? Exhaust (GT muffler takeoffs or aftermarket exhuast) is pretty popular for most v6 owners.

I don't know too much about the shocks/springs on the 2011+ GT models, but on the older models the ride height is HIGHER than stock...

That said, the strut tower brace, and thicker anti roll bars are what you are going to want to upgrade if handling is what you are going for- shocks/springs you are better off going aftermarket.

Well I am looking to upgrade the handling mostly. I'm interested in the Roush handout package. Comes with coils, anti-roll bars and such but says it's for the GT only.

Ops forgot to ask. What about te GT500? My Dad has an 07' and got it Super Snaked so all his stock suspension was removed. Figure it would be better that for now till I can afford the Rouah package.

The v6 strut bar is the same one used in the Boss:-)

That's good to know. That would be awesome if the brakes could be swapped too. I'd like to get a Brembo set up sometime soon as well.
