Default Shelby Suspension Question

Is the Shelby 500kr stock suspension lower than the GT500. If so what are the inches of drop comparison in size? Thanks!

Could I use the GT500KR suspension in my 05 GT?

yes...but you don't necessarily want to use all of it

the front springs/strut is designed with the weight of a 5.4 4v. so your GT will sit heigher since the 4.6 3v is I think 100 lbs lighter.

You can utilize the good stuff though like the mounts, the control arms, the rear springs.

that stuff isn't exactly cheap though. so unless you got a screaming deal, IMO you would be better off going with an aftermarket company

The numbers I seen are as follows:

Front: 20mm (0.787")
Rear: 15mm (0.59")
