Default frpp k springs

anyone have these? what's the actual drop? someone told me only about .75" but ford says 1.5". i just got my new wheels put on (will have pics as soon as it gets nice out) and i wanted to avoid dropping it but I think it's going to need a little drop unfortunately. I don't really want anything too crazy that's why I was thinking the ford springs. also does anyone know the exact amount the eibach pro kit lowers you? thanks in advance!

The Pro-Kit and FRPP srpings are pretty much the same when it comes to drop ".

EDIT: Drop for a GT Pro-Kit says 1.3 FRONT, 1.4 REAR

hard to say the actual drop you get from the FRP lowering springs. they advertise 1.5" all the way around, but I have never physically measures a car that had them on. someone I know installed them on their california special after he put 20's on it and it looked really good. just make sure that you purchase the "true" FRP lowering springs for a GT, part# M-5300-K.

the springs you may have heard about from your friend that only lowered the car about 3/4" are the springs that were being sold by blue oval industries awhile back. they were advertising FRP lowering springs for $120, but they turned out to be "to good to be true" for the price and a few of us on here, including myself, got taken for some money....never found out what kind of springs they were (see link below)

i installed the frpp k springs myself and measured right after install. it was 1-3/8" front and rear.

then i waited 2 weeks, because they will "break in" over time. the car lowered to exactly 1-5/8" front and rear.

so the drop after the springs settle in is slightly more than 1.5"

hope that helps.
