Doesn't it take a little longer than three days for the springs to settle?
I've read about too many horror stories on here with BOI that I'd rather spend a few dollars more at a place that I know has much better customer service.

Update:
My springs just arrived so I decided to call Blue Oval back to find out if I installed just the rear springs (since they are easier) to see if they do as they claim (lower 1.5"), would I be able to return them if they didn't...I was told no. I was told that if I install the springs, they are mine. So it's a catch 22. I either pay to ship them back and pay a 15% restocking fee, or I try them on my car and if they don't work, eat the $139 I paid to have them shipped originally???

They still will not lower the additional 1".
John is the guy that runs the show and he told me the same after getting frustrated when I asked for labor.
IMO - I wouldn't spend the time or money installing something that "could" go wrong.
The springs did have identical PN from FRPP.
Even if it was a mislabel, he still was rude and screwed me....

There is a thread on these springs on another board, they are NOT the frpp K springs. If my memory is correct, they were springs that were to go on the foose stallion cars. I put the K springs on my car this summer and it is way lower than the pics posted. I got my springs from here http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/...0%201&comp=LRS

I think I see what you are talking about. The sticker on the top of my box even says Foose Springs. The other thing that is weird is that they didn't even come from Blue Oval, the return addres is from Classic Design Concepts in Novi, MI??

I recently purchased 1.5" FRPP Lowering Springs for a discounted price of $120.00 from www.blueovalindustries.com and had them installed by Pascal. The springs only lowered the vehicle about .5", and i've let it "set in" for three days now. Nothing.
The post with picture measurements is here on the last few pages:

I will never deal with Blue Oval again. I spoke with "John" on the phone who seemed mad and frustrated the entire call, raised his voice and ended up saying "sorry there is nothing I can do" and hung up on me.
I told him that I was just calling to see if he could help me. He said all he could do was refund the part. IVE ALREADY HAD THEM INSTALLED!!! So ya, I could pay to have them uninstalled and pay to ship them back and all I would get is the $120 I spend on the parts, not labor or shipping.
The guy refused to work with me and seemed really offended that I was calling to inform him that the parts he shipped were not performing to the spec. I even offered to send him pictures and he refused.
I am not saying that all the springs may have been "mislabled" because he laughed at that notion too, but if you ordered, I would think long and hard before lowering them. I also found this post on another Mustang forum regarding these springs - late after I installed mine...

This sucks. Hopefully my new tires will fill it up...

If the number on the spring matches what Ford says is 1.5" then you can't fault Blue Oval.
