"Double adjustable" shocks allow you to "tune" the shock in both rebound and jounce. For track use or VERY spirited road work they give an advantage. For normal cruising and occasional hotfooting the standard configuration works just fine. I would guess less than 20% of Superformance owners upgrade the suspension, shocks or sway bars.

Some people like a louder exhaust and some need every extra horsepower they can find. Again, the majority of SPF owners are fine with the factory system. There are some very nice aftermarket systems available like the Firefly setup. You will gain power and can specify the noise level with these but they are slightly pricey.

If noise is a concern consider the "Roadster" model with undercar/rear exiting exhaust. I have several customers who have specified this and I can put you in touch for their experiences with it.

Feel free to call with any questions, if we can't answer them we can refer you to a customer with a car like you may be considering and they can offer you help.

We also have a New York registered resale car available. Indigo Blue with white stripes and a Ford Racing 392 CID/475 HP through a TKO600 .82 OD trans.
