Default Suspenios Roush vs. FRPP

I am debating doing a suspension as my next mod, but don't know which one to choose
the Roush:
http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=471
or
FRPP:
http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=8976

both are equally priced the FRPP comes with a Strut Tower Brace wchich the Roush does not.
Any recomendations ???? I have stock 17'' wheels and will upgrade those donw the line too sometime....

I have the frpp and it handles turns incredibly well. Be prepared to have a bumpy ride though. They guy at my shop told me the frpp is the roughest ride out of all the suspensions out there. I believe him. I probably would have gone with something more mild but the previous owner put it on the car and have got used to it.

I took the FRPP and did not install the springs, just struts and sway bars. Difference is fantastic compared to stock, yet the ride still remains comfortable. On the other hand, I am not sure a strut brace makes any difference. But it looks good.

The Roush kit is a very well designed package. It give great handling with good ride qualities.

If interested in the kit, let me know and I can go over more details of it and pricing.

You know what sucks?? I've driven Saleens and Roush's and those drivers have driven my car (I have FRPP) and we all agree that all suspension kits handle and react the same with ocourse wheel dimesnions and tire choice being the final factor so I say buy what ever kit you can get the best deal on.

it is track tested that the Roush kit, tho not a low as the Ford racing kit, handles much better. The roush kit went 1.0g on the skidpad, whereas ford racing only pulled a .89. But for the money i'd go with ford racing, its much cheaper.

A friend has the roush package, and I much prefer my steeda springs and D-specs. Adjustability in dampening is very important to me.
