Default got frpp spring in and wow!

well, i got the frpp lowering springs in last saturday, and i didnt expect too much, but they exceeded my expectations by a lot!! it sits right arround 1-3/8" lower on all 4 corners and the progressive rate springs are great. they ride very well for an aftermarket spring and they handle sooooo much better than factory. i actually think it was better before i got it alligned. i hit the round-about (poor mans skid pad) and damn neer threw my pops out the passenger window!!! what a great investment, couldn't think of a better way to spend $200 on the stang.

YES!!! do it. im a professional mechanic and i have a lift and a spring compressor, but if your not mechanically inclined or dont have a lift and spring compressor, thats a smokin deal.

i paid $180~ for the springs from stangsuspension.com. well worth it. i want to get some tokiko d-specs but the wallet is a little light these days but they will come eventually.

and again, sorry for the lack of pics, but im working a deal on a camera on craigs list.com right now so they're coming soon!!

and to all people thinking of doing this mod, it is totally worth it!!! best mod except CAI/tuner ive done yet.

I don't see any pics yet but you might be working on it! Glad you are happy and I drove in a car that had the full FRPP suspension with springs, shocks, front and rear sway bars and LCA's etc and it was a great and planted to the ground feel.....congrats
