Installed FRPP F Springs and Bilsteins...OMFG...so awesome.

GT Ninja · 10-09-2006, 09:31 PM

So I decided to whip out the install of my new suspension components today, MM Caster / Camber plates, FRPP F Springs, and Bilsteins. And after a few hours of driving it, I must say, OMFG, this is the shinit. The ride quality is there, the handling is utterly amazing, I can corner without being afraid of crashing into a parked car, it's just beautiful. Thought I should share my experience so those of you out there that are still "thinking about doing it" will know how awesome it will be when you do. The only disappointment I have is that it didn't seem to lower my car much. It was rated at a 1.5" drop all around, and it looks as if it only dropped it maybe .5". Though this may be because it needs to settle still, so I'll give it a weak and have it aligned and see how it looks then. Overall I must say this is well worth the money, my car is fun again, and safer on the road. Can't wait until the next set of upgrades.

It'll settle another .25-.5". If it doesn't settle low enough for you, go ahead and pull the spring isolators off.

Glad to see a happy camper. Now, time to get the cobra brakes (seriously the best mod for the money... 400 bucks and WOW stops) and some subframe connectors and call it a day.
