Just so everyone knows this was a waste of money and the nuts didn't fit the new dampers. The new dampers come with new nuts and are not in the way of adjusting camber.

So should we call them upgraded 302S dampers?adam81 said:For the last time- THE 18000-C DAMPERS ARE NOT 302S EQUIPMENT
They are not and never were offered on the 302S in any way shape or form. They are strictly Ford Racing upgraded dampers for all S197 Mustangs. Nothing more and nothing less...... They are Tokico D Specs that were spec'd out by Multimatic/Dynamic Suspensions for Ford Racing. This is the same company that makes the UPGRADED suspension for the 302S not the standard equipment that comes on the 302S.....that is by Sachs.

I guess it all depends on your goals. At this point I wish I hadn't done coilovers on my GT500 as the street ride is brutal. I'm not sure how much additional gain there would be on the Boss with the coilovers versus the setup I have, but as it stands now using it as a street/track car, I'm glad I didn't go that route.LateApex said:Nice write- up! Definitely pulling the trigger on my setup soon, just still having the coil over debate with myself
I'd say you nailed it - going softer on the rear likely would have taken care of the oversteer. Sounds like a great improvement overall ;D
You mean these?ArizonaGT said:Did you guys have to ditch the NVH weights on the rear axle to install the LCA relo brackets?

Which coil overs were you using on your GT500?
Well the GT350 is an aftermarket car too. I'm sticking with SVT.PJWANNABE said:808Boss said:Wow, Looks great Rick. Thanks for posting pics. Jealous...
You could also call them Shelby GT350 dampeners. The MGTAA suspension pack is suppsed to be the GT350 suspension as well as the SVT package suspension for the GT500.
That is definitely one of my future upgrades.
