2014 vs 2016+ on track suspension performance

[WolfDampf]

I've read the threads about the difference between the two suspension versions basically reading that 2016 up has softer ride. I was curious if anyone has any input on which has better suspension for on track performance? I own a 2014 thought it would be quite cheap(maybe even free) for me to grab parts off a 2016+ for better track performance. I don't care for the softer ride but if the package all together handles better and is faster on track I'll definitely take it!

Bump.

Hey OP, did you ever figure it out?

From the research I've done I could only find the differences between them being listed here. Springs are softer and sway bar/torsian beam are stiffer in the 2016+. I've also found some members who've driven both mention that the 2016+ cars feel more controllable at the limit and less harsh. Overall from my guestimating it seems the updated suspension is better. I'd definitely try one of the newer cars if I ever get a chance to test drive one

I also tried looking for an answer, but I couldn’t find anything. I posted in one of the Facebook groups. But no one replied.

So I just assumed Ford did it to make the fiesta more comfortable to daily drive.

thanks for replying.
