Default First Mustang Factory Order, Need Help?

Currently looking at a 19' GT Premium Fastback factory order.

I kept my build pretty straight forward. 401A Package, Black Accent Package, and the Premium B&O Stereo. I was also looking at the Performance Level 2 package but for the cost I was wondering if it was worth it...??? My biggest question is this package comes with different chassis tuning and the MagnaRide Dampening, so is this suspension adjustable to get the ride height a touch lower? OR does the car already come set lower with this package?

My short term plans included a Roush Suspension upgrade but if the above package solves the ride height issue then I wont need it...

Thanks in advance, any advice in general is appreciated. I look forward to building this car up and learning a lot from you folks...

I don't think the PP2 lowers the car any more, it is just a way better suspension package. The Roush system would be a step backward IMO.

So I pulled the trigger on this Factory order. After some more research I learned the PP2 suspension is the way to go for what I'm trying to get out of this car. My build date is April 29th. Fingers crossed it gets here before the end of May.

GT Fastback Premium
-Magnetic Grey
-401A
-Performance Package Level 2
-Active Valve Exhaust
-B&O Stereo

So my questions now are. What are my options for lowering springs that are compatible with MagneRide? I heard Ford Performance offers a .780" lowering spring kit for the GT350 and these may be compatible with my car. Any truth to this? Any direction here is appreciated...

Just call Ford Racing and ask them. I'm sure they are however.
