2013 GT- FRPP springs, shocks struts, BMR pan hard etc...
FRPP K springs, shocks, struts, jounce stops
BMR pan hard
SVT lower arms
GT 5OO mounts
Before / after
All fit up like stock pieces...
Alingment afterward was perfect 1.5 negative camber and everything else wound up perfect.
For the K springs, you'll have to cut the jounce stops or the bumping noises from the rear will sound like you have a loose spare tire bouncing around in your trunk...
Handling all round is VERY good and ride quality is better than the 3 cars I've been in that don't use progressive rate springs... notably smoother especially on smaller bumps but MUCH more firm than stock. You'll still bump the bump stops on VERY rough roads...
I'm all street but agressive in the twisties and mountain roads and this is a better set up than the M3 and 135 that I just parted with... The steering response very simply isnt as quick, but overall handling, body roll and nose dive are all VERY good on this car now.
If doing this over again, I would likely go with the 1 " drop just to get rid of most all of the chatter and bump, but it's very good this way and the look is, in my opinion, better...
All suspension parts were Late model restoration. FASTdelivery and well done...

Did my eibach pro kit just the springs this past sat, in under two hrs with help from a good buddy whos a ford mechanic lol, made the car look awesome, no noises, ride is alittle rougher which can be expected, only question i have is that it seems like the rear is solid now and sometimes wanting to pull to one side if i hit a hard bump or floor it, is this because i need a adj. panhard bar??? also gettn my new rims installed this fri, i also go everything from latemodel, excellent customer service, they always take time to answer all my questions no matter what
