What FP350S parts do you want from Ford Performance?

That's interesting. I was wondering when any info regarding the IRS sub-frame would surface for the FP350S.

Conceivably, a modified rear sub-frame could add anti-squat & camber arm location adjustments to the rear end of a S550.

I’ll ask on Monday....
I just realized that I never responded to this. The reason given was just to improve overal “effectiveness” to the lubrication loop. I read into that as just a belt and suspenders approach to making things bullet proof in a Racing environment...

It's great that GT4 parts are starting to appear on the FP parts site, but some of the really cool ones will never show up - the Bosch Racing ABS controller comes to mind. The FP350S one is there now but the real hard-core racing parts are unlikely to ever be available unless you buy the actual GT4 car.

Here is a quick look at the FP350S changes for the rear suspension:

IRS Subframe – New Ford part number – released
Bushing Kit (IRS to Body) – Existing Ford Performance kit
Bushing Kit (Diff to IRS) – Existing Ford Performance kit
Lower Controller Arms – New Ford part number – not yet released
Cortex Lower Controller Arm Bearing
Upper Controller Arms – Same as GT350/R
New Adjustable Toe Links – Watson
Vertical Links - Same as GT350/R
Knuckle Bushings - Same as GT350/R
Toe Link Bearing – FP M-5A460-M – been around for while
Hub Bearing – GT350R with longer ARP Studs
Sway Bar - New Ford part number – not yet released
Sway Bar End Links – just as in the front – Lists OEM GT350/R links and then adjustable links from Capaldi, two options.

I guess the new IRS Subframe is interesting. Wonder if the Lower Controller Arms do not contain the lower spring perch? Could be interesting for those that switched over to rear coil-overs if this is the case. Otherwise not too interesting for GT350/R Magnaride guys.

Has anyone actually seen the new FP350S IRS Lower Conroller Arms? What to they look like?
The FP350S rear lowers look like a production Ford piece, as opposed to the GT4, which has a fabricated, billet aluminum lower. Attached is a picture of the FP350S lower, I do not have a picture of the GT4:

@VoodooBoss You still have those SEMA pics I texted you? I think I included the GT4 adjustable lower arms.....
 
I get it, but I do think a calibration offering similar to the ‘19 would close the gap for trackgoers. I’m also surprised FP didn’t offer a calibration with the FP springs/swaybar package.

I will likely have the opportunity to test out the DSC in my car soon, and I’m hopeful there will be a noticeable difference. That said, I drove a car with DSC on track that has a similar set up to my car. Unfortunately there was enough difference between the two cars that I was unable to discern any advantage the DSC may provide.

You don’t even know what the 19 will have. It’s all rumors.
I already heard from a good inside source that the painted stripe option is a no go and that’s all I’m allowed to say as of now.
Don’t get your hopes up.

Well, if you want to play with words, consider this sentence from the media.ford link: "Shelby GT350’s exclusive high-revving 5.2-liter V8 remains the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever and the only one of its type in the segment – delivering 526 horsepower and 429 lb.-ft. of torque at a blistering 8,250-rpm redline." Notice that it's missing one of the key marketing messages for the GT350: it doesn't say: "flat-plane crank".

Bosch ABS is a standalone system that can be installed in any car, same as the GT4. Here is the one I put into one of my S197. Price is more competitive than you would think.
