Default FRPP springs

Are the FRPP springs essentially the same thing as the Eibach pro kit? I'm going with Koni Street struts/shocks, and a BMR or Edelbrock adjustable PHB. I just wanna know what the difference is between the FRPP springs and the Eibach, since I don't really see any pictures of cars with FRPP springs.

Don't know much about suspension, but I've seen the FRPP's listed as having a 1.5" drop all around, whereas the Eibach Pro's are a 1.3" in front and a 1.4" in back. Here's some pics of cars with the FRPP's. I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I'm going to get lowering springs this summer, and was wondering if caster/camber plates are necessary?

I lowered on FRPP springs. I like em. Still rides nice. I'm on 35 series tires.
Ohio: I just ordered the Eibach Camber Bolts and that worked fine for me. I'm also installing the SVT strut mounts this weekend. I did not need an adjustable panhard. But I think that varies by individual car.

the frpp springs and eibach pro kit are NOTHING alike. i was lowered with the pro kit (1.3"/1.4"), and my friend was lowered with frpp's (1.5" all around), and the frpp springs have a MUCH more aggresive stance and it sat a bit lower as well. the frpp springs look soooo much better IMO. the pro kit just doesnt give it a mean stance IMO

Does the Prokit level the car, while the FRPP still leaves rake? I'm just guessing.

I'll agree with ffk..the FRPP's are a perfect drop. I have a couple shots of my car under my profile if you want to see more of how the drop on them looks. They provided a good boost to the car's handling as well. I've talked to alot of guys who've gotten springs like the Eibach Sport kit that go lower, and they weren't really happy with the ride........or the car constantly rubbing on curbs and such.
