Wanted some input on the following, but first a little background…
The car isn’t a daily driver, it’s used mostly for joyriding & spirited driving. Would like to have the option or ability of tracking the car and going down the ¼ mile.
Also, looking to install a Roush UCA to hopefully rid me of wheel hop. I’m currently using a ’13 GT500 carbon fiber drive shaft that uses CV joints so pinion angle shouldn’t be an issue with a non-adjustable UCA. I have a set of Bob’s nonadjustable LCA as well. Will I need relocation brackets or possibly a panhard bar with the lowered rear end (~1.25” drop) or is it a wait and see if it’s needed?
The car will be lowered front & back using the M-5300-L FRPP springs.
With this drop (~1.25”) should I be concerned about “bump steer”? If so, what’s recommended?
So I’m thinking of going with the M-18000-G SVT PP suspension package. Price point isn’t bad @ about $478. Will the new struts be an improvement over OEM?

Also, wondering if I need to swap out the OEM strut mounts to these (M-18183-C)?
Long term goal will be a TVS install with all supporting mods.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Ray
