Cool Advice on the FRP handling pkg

Hello all, I am going to be buying the FRPP 2005+ V6 mustang handling package from Buyfordracing.com Does anyone have this installed and what kind of diffrence in preformance does it give. I don't want to install somthing that will ruin the everyday ride but will still give me the handeling when I go on the track?

I have the pack installed. What exactly do you want to know? What kind of track are you going to? I see you have the PP. Why would you want to mess with it? I installed the kit, and it was overly harsh for me. I ended up putting the stock springs back in with the rest of the kit components still installed, that made it more tolerable for me. The kit did not lower it as much as it claimed it would. I measured before and after the install, and a few days later to give things time to settle, and the most was around 5/8" if I recall correctly. I had a post on here somewhere about the install... pics and stuff

ok thanks all I was hoping that the height drop would be more noticable. I went out on the Road Atlanta course this spring to see what it would do streight stock. Handled well and I made it to 110 on the back strightaway. I was really wanting to make the stance a little bit more agressive. Thanks for the reply themac5150. I might of just saved a bit of money. I also was looking at getting a Roush true duel exhaust and CAI. I might go that directon.
