Default FRPP springs complete (pictures)

Got it done today. Car rides fantastic. I have an angle finder that I used to check camber prior to doing this. I have a 1.2 degree difference after the install. I do not believe this is enough to worry about, but I will watch tire wear. Driving it is perfect. I really like the look of the back drop only, but the difference in handling after doing the whole job would keep me from doing it any other way. Check out the pics.

I did nothing else. I took some measurements prior to the install. My rear end shifted 1/16 of an inch and my camber changed 1.2 degrees. I feel pretty good about these numbers. FRPP says it's a 1.5" drop front and rear. It's kind of hard to notice anything has been done because the stance is the same. Handling is excellent. Rides every bit as smooth as stock over normal road changes. Larger bumps and dips are more noticeable. Sits very flat when cornering. I said in my other post after dropping the rear that it felt like the back end snapped back in line due to less recovery from sway. With the front on also it has very little plow into turns and comes back in line effortlessly. May need shocks on the rear if you plan on road racing due to the inside tire on a very hard turn begins to lift a little (causes feeling of sliding through turn). Front feels perfect. No noise at all. I'm sure my nieghbors hate me due to my numerous "test drives" through the hood today.

The drop looks good but the dark shadows around the car makes it a little hard to see the full effect of the drop.[sm=icon_cheers.gif]

THEGHOST: CAR LOOKS GOOD, I HAVE THE EIBACH PROKIT (REARS ONLY) JUST ADDED THE FRONT EIBACHS AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE REAR SITS A LITTLE HIGHER. DO YOU HAVE THE SAME ISSUE?

RICVA05: HOW ARE YOUR SPORTLINES? I HAVE THE PRO KIT AND THINKING OF SWAPPING OUT THE REARS WITH SPORTLINES. DOE YOU GUYS RECCOMMEND THE MIS MATCH, PRO-KIT IN FRONT AND SPORTLINES IN THE REAR.

DON'T MEAN TO STEAL THE THREAD "THE GHOST" , JUST WANTED YOUR OPINIONS. THANKS

Ghost, yeah with just the rear drop you were probly 1/4 lower than the front. Cant have that!
Both looks good! Thanks for the feedback on the mod. This is what the site is about!

I installed the roush rear springs only, they have a one inch drop(front and rears), leaving me with the rear 1/4 higher, and a more even look without wheel well gap.
So far im staying with just the rears.
