    2009 Mustang Shelby GT500 KR Shocks / Struts AND Springs

    I seen this on ebay and was wondering if this set up is any good and if it would work on my 09 vert?
    Anyone know how much this would lower an 09 vert?
    Looking for constructive feedback.

    I would be curious if this would be a way to lower the car as well.

    The KR does have a decent stance, so it might be a good choice at a very decent price.

    That said, a good set of adjustable coil-overs would let you set heights however you like.

    I've had the KR strut and shock combo for years and it is a quality package, I opted for the FORD Racing springs though, as the drop from the KR springs is nominal from stock.

    The red rear sway bar is the fastest part on the car... Nice!!

    Update:
    Last night I installed the KR Handling Kit, (shocks, struts and springs) on my 09 vert. I also installed the Ford Racing strut mounts M-18183-C, the Ford Racing Jounce Bumper Kit M-5570-A and the Energy Suspension rear coil spring isolators 9.6106. I used all new nuts and bolts.

    Because its winter here in N/W Indiana I won't have the chance to test drive it until spring.
    The rear dropped 1" lower and the front dropped 1/4" lower. I was hoping for a little more of a drop but it does look 100% better than it did before. I can't wait to drive it and see how it handles. The install took me about 3 hours and was actually very easy to do.

    I bought the KR Handling Kit off ebay through Gary Yoemans Ford for $167.95 including delivery. They raised there price now to $177.95 which still a good deal. Last October when I started this thread the cost was $299.99 so I think I got a good deal. They have a few kits left.

    KR Mods to my car so far:
    KR FRPP Short Throw Shifter
    KR FRPP CAI
    KR FRPP Tune
    KR Hood
    KR Exhaust
    KR H-Pipe
    KR Wheels (I sold them because I didn't like the way they look on my car)
    KR Handling Kit
    KR Brake Duct Bezels
    KR Strut Tower Brace
    KR H-Pipe
    KR Trunk Liner
    To bad they didn't make the KR it in a vert, It would have made life a lot simpler for me.

    Now all you need is some KR badging and you can tell everyone you have a 1:1 KR vert. Wait, aren't you missing the KR reservoirs...................

    My car isn't a KR and I wont badge it as a KR, I just like some of the options the KR has.

    Awesome!!

    I bet the front suspension will settle-in another 1/4" or so once you get a few miles on the springs
