Recently I test drove a 2011 Miata. No, I'm not trading in the stang.

I was impressed with how well the miata responded in curves and overall driving, and I was thinking of improving the mustang's suspension with a ford racing pack. Heck, the car will eventually need shocks, right?

However, they don't appear to have one for a 2006 V6 convertible. A V6 coupe, yes. A Gt yes, a gt convertible yes.

I called Ford racing and they recommended the V6 package, although I might get more of a "drop" out of it due to the heavier weight of the convertible vs the coupe.

Has anyone on the forum improved their mustang V6 converible with one package or the other?

I went with Vogtland Springs, they are made in Germany, they do Porsche, Mercedes and that Euro sort of ride, they did some spring sets for S197 Mustang 05+, I did the GT Leveling Springs, not the V6 springs....an inch in the rear and 3/4" or so in front....
Worked out great....did not want drop it too much.....

Bilstien non-adjustable struts and shocks......

Hotpart was VERY helpful!!!! They have spring and strut/shock packages....as I remember....

Extreme knowledge of Mustang suspension and reasonable.......

my .02 another VERT....

That package is alright.. but you can get a better system for less or the same amount.

Vogtland springs are good, but they seemed kind of soft for my liking. Another choice is H&R's (beware they low it 1.5-1.7 inches), also German made.

If you want an adjustable shock, go for some Tokico D-specs, very nice ride and great adjust ability.

You'll might also need a new adjustable panhard bar to align the rear axle (might shift left/right due to lowering), and some camber bolts for alignment. Don't know why that isn't included in the FRPP package..

^agreed though. there are better options out there that are cheaper or the same amount

I wouldn't dog a miata to much, if you have seen a spec miata race then you will know, I will be going with d-specs with either steeda springs or h&r springs next, or possibly just jump into coilovers, and if I had to guess the gt parts would fit the v6, the only difference would be the little additional weight the gt has.
