Let me know how it goes and how you like it. I've been looking into the FRPP K springs with the GT500 Strut mounts and the FRPP dampers, but would love to have some options. What was the cost on the Roush kit, and what all did it include?

I paid $1365 through a Ford dealer.

Those parts look A LOT like the FRPP Handling Pack!

The Ford kit appears to include a strut tower brace and upper strut mounts, but I see no other differences.

Picked it up after work, and it meets every expectation. I had gotten used to the '08 with the Roush, and found the unmodified '12 had a bit more body lean than I wanted, plus it dived under heavy braking. I couldn't set it into a constant radius hard turn without getting a bit of instability, so to speak.
All cured now. Wrung it out pretty good on some back roads on mt way home and it is everything I remembered plus the inherent better handling of the '12. How Roush does this without noticeably stiffening the ride is beyond me, but I love it.
They had it parked next to one just off the truck so I snapped a quick photo. Though they are sitting on an uneven surface, you can tell mine is dropped about an inch.
Edit - or not - lousy picture!
