Seems to be at odds with "handling" to me to run a softer spring...but then again, the price is very low at $100-120 shipped on these springs. Wish I knew for certain if they were .5" or 1" drops.
I'll measure the rate and let you know tomorrow.

please do.

I went ahead and bought the "Stallion" springs today. they were the best deal I could get on the net + shipping to Hawaii. $100 + shipping can't be beat for 1" drop, and be FRPP (Eibach) quality

Sorry it took so long. I measured them today. They are both 153lbs plus or minus a couple lbs. That's pretty good heavier than GT springs not as heavy as GT500 springs and lowers the car just about an inch. I wish I could put them on already.

I just bought these as well. Does anyone know if camber bolts or an adjustable panhard bar is required?

I haven't lowered my car yet and I need a panhard rod. The axle is not centered from the factory. Lower it an inch and it will get worse.

By the way in case it isn't clear the CDC set is a setup designed for the Foose Stallion project with 20 inch wheels for the street. The FRPP is a completely different kit. Much stiffer rising rate springs lower ride height and more appropriate for 18 inch wheels.

Interested also, cant wait to hear review. Looking for good ride comfort with a slight lowering. Bought the Vogtland leveling springs which are sitting in the garage but may sell if these turn out to be a good set up.
