Hey guys,

Im looking into doing suspension work for my 2009 GT500. I want to do the install myself if it isnt too hard. I was just wondering what brand I should go with?
Steeda, Maybe FRPP springs? PLease input as I would like your honest opinion.

That looks sick as fu**. May I ask how much did that cost you and where did you get it and was the install easy? Thanks again.

see link below.

I bought them from Lightning Force Performance. As far as install, my brother-in-law's dad who works at a shop that has all kinds of lifts and has every tool imaginable at his disposal did the swap for me, but it's pretty straight forward. For me, the only thing that we ran into were the frame connectors underneath the car that run from the rear trunk area to just behind the front door (convertible thing). They had to be removed when changing out the rear springs, but it was no big deal...just something I didn't expect. The fronts come out with the strut assembly, swap the spings and reinstall. When done, had the car aligned and I was good to go. Wouldn't change a thing.
