Thats what I paid for mine at Sutton High Performance, I had them match Late Model Restoration, I just did the install this past Friday. I have to get it aligned tomorrow, The local Ford dealer couldnt get it on the alignment rack with my cdc chin spoiler on the front.

The car looks great now. I will get pictures up tomorrow.

Congrats. I have the whole handling pk, but it will sit the same. It gives it a great stance.

you'd only have to remove it if they have to drive it up ramps to get it on the alignment rack. My dealer has a alignment rack thats level with the ground.

Had the FRPP garbage on my car before...mybuddy hasthe d-specs. better ride qualty but higher price. you get what you pay for. i go to the track and youcan adjust in minutes with the remote adjusters to stiffen up the suspension...ifyou want to drive like a cadillac ctsyou can as well. The FRPP's are just glorified stockers. Save youre money imo. Im not flaming anyone here just think the dspecs are a 200% improvement over the FPP's after experiencing both.

The frpp springs & shocks r the same ones that ford racing uses on their fr500 racing car so they dont suck. If u gonna use dspecs u gotta use their springs and sway bars cuz their made to work together. Heres a sample if u go to a burger place u cant say I want the sauce from mcdonalds & the fries from burger king & the meat from carls jr so it probably taste bad right same with the suspension they r made to go together. So my point is u can't have diffrents brands in ur suspension setup.

So why do so many people here have Eibach Springs and D-Specs?
Is it a fad and they're all following the leader?

I assumed adjustable shocks are the best way to go.
But I know more about nuclear reactors than I know about car suspensions![8D]
