ODDYSEY

Ok everyone, I am about to order my springs today and I need a little feedback because I don't know alot about suspension.

Here is what I plan on picking up today...

FRPP N performance springs - M-5300-N

They are N springs for the V6 coupe, vs the K springs for the GT. I can't see a difference between the two.

I plan on getting this in a few months to go along with the N springs also...

FRPP V6 anti-roll kit - M-5490-C

But basically here are my questions, do you think the FRPP N performance springs are not as good as say Eibach or FRPP K springs? And if I do get them and install them, will I need a panhard rod or adjustable panhard rod? Sorry, I am a noob when it comes to suspension.

i think it might depend on your general preference. i asked the same question a week back in the main +05 mustang forum and a lot of people were actually running there lowered stangs w/o a new panhard, although others recommended it for a proper stance and proper rear geometry - something that could take a toll on shocks and other moving rear end parts over time if not set up correctly. When I lower mine I'll be sure to throw and adjustable panhard. Most are stronger and lighter than the oem panhard anyway.

Well panhard bars are fairly cheap anyway, but my main concern is the type of springs. I mean if I am going to spend the money and time to replace them, I want to make sure i get the best bang for my buck. I like FRPP stuff, but I wonder if I should get the V6 N springs or get the GT K springs.

Just lowered my car last week. From my understanding, you don't NEED a panhard rod replacement. But it is highly recommended eventually. I plan on purchasing one next week. I would get adjustable for a few bucks more though

I don't know who makes the FRPP springs, but I have the FRPP V6 sway bar kit installed, the instructions said it was made by Eibach. I have the stock springs andshocks installed. I don't know what the difference is between the FRPP V6 and GT springs or shocks. It can be confusing, and when searching for my sway bar kit, many times I ended up looking at items listed on the FRPP products page,for the GT. It may just be the stiffness of the springs and the rate of the dampners based on the weight of the GT. If that is the case, it would make for a harsher ride in the V6. I like the ride I have now with the stock setup plus the swaybars. Lowering it doesn't appeal to me, it's already hard enough to crawl under it to begin with.

I am lowering it but I have 18" razors on it so it will look much better and handle much better. For the most part I think I am sticking with the FRPP V6 suspension with exception to BMR adj. panhard bar and BMR LCA's.
