I've seen some great cars here thank you very much and now I have an idea of what I'm looking for. I seen Ford racing for $159 and Eibachs for $199 So I'll see how fast they can get them here. Thanks again!

I haven't seen any Mustangs with BMR springs the aggressive ones 1.5 in front 2.0 in rear. Does anyone have pics? These are the springs I bought and just want to hear some reviews before I put them on.

Around how much will a shop charge to lower a car? I know there is a wide range based on the shop, etc... but a general idea would be helpful. I am thinking of doing this and am not even remotely mechanicaly inclined .

I absolutely love mine. The ride is awesome, nice and smooth. After I got them done I went to willow springs (road course). Being all stock with just the springs, they handled like a champ. Great product. Only problem with mine is they are purple. But you can barely see them. I can send you or post more pics when I get home tonight, If you want.

Question about the Eibach and FRPP K springs.

We know the FRPP K springs are made by Eibach, is the compression the same as the Pro Kit, or is it different?

Is the FRPP K kit the exact same spring as the Eibach Pro Kit?

Thanks I pulled the trigger last nite and bought the Vogtlands. I got them from www.hotpart.com for 197.50 shipped. Great deal I think, I hope I like them.

@ Chuck thanks for chiming in I was wondering where you been.

That's what I want! I like the fronts the way they are, but just want to level out the back... But in the pic, it looks like the back is a little too low, but it just might be the angle of the driveway... Is it more level in person?

I lowered just the back on my V6... It looked good and was easy to do!

I have the Roush rears right now. I like how this looks, I'll probably do the fronts soon. Very uniform drop, good stuff.
