It begins!!! ??

If it tames the bouncing on my GT, may be well worth that…

Really need someone to figure out how to bypass the 5 second rule though ?

Digging the potential for adjustable dampening for this car, but with the overall weight and clearances I'd really have to test drive a setup before coughing up the $3k. I'd be willing for a modest improvement.

Who has a GTPE here that can compare to the GT bounciness?

Without having driven either, the GTPE has a great ride and exhibits none of the bounciness of the other trims.

I test drove the GT before buying the GTPE so hope you are right......I really didn't feel/felt or noticed the bounciness of the GT.....But did notice the 5-second drop right away.....I thought it was just me after the ride.....

There have been multiple posts from owners who have gone from a Premium to a GTPE, and from a GT to a GTPE. The general consensus is the GT is less bouncy than the Premium and the GTPE is less bouncy than the GT. The PE has MagneRide which explains why it is the best.

Here is the epic thread about this issue. After you spend an hour reading all the posts, you will know all you need to know about the issue.

My last car a Lincoln MKX Reserve had the Magneride and it is a wonderful thing. Its the biggest "wish I had it" with my premium.

Not exactly. It does have some bounce but it is not very noticeable. You notice it when comparing to other cars that truly have no bounce. Per @markboris.

Interesting.

Hard to tell from their site, but it doesn’t seem like it was specifically designed for our car, more like it’ll “fit” and is adjustable. Hopefully someone will be the Guinea pig for everyone else.

I’m also curious why one of the search results for our car is a BMW sway bar:

OMG. It's individually compression and rebound adjustable. This should be the magic bullet to solving all the problems.

The manuals and instructions are still in German - heads up there too

Did some reading on the Mustang forums and people seem to like the coil overs but more for track use. They seem to universally agree the magneride rides better on the street.

What we should hope for is a kit like this:

They call it the “comfort suspension.”
