Eibach Pro Kit

Anyone know where the cheapest place is to get the eibach pro spring kit? I've looked around and about the cheapest i found with shipping is around 230 and thats on ebay. Plus are people that have their vehicles lowered and have the popping noise buying the heavy duty upper strut mounts from steeda for $299.99 just so they wont have the popping noise! That sure is alot of money on top of the spring purchase. I also have decided that if i do lower it that i'm going to get new lca's and uca's and adjustable panhard bar from bmr. Does anyone suggest a certain bushing type for the lca's and uca's? I'm going to the track come spring and also it's my everyday driver. All imput is greatly apprecitated.

You can get the FRPP springs for 159.50. They are made by Eibach.

Eibach's website says 1.3/1.4" vs. 1.5" on Ford Racing. I bet Ford Racing just rounded up.

The FRPP and Eibach are not identical, but they are made by eibach. Just like ground control coilovers coils are.

The FRPP I can match price, the Eibach kit I can do 239.99 delivered.

They go for $264.95 on reputable Mustang stores.

My friend who works for Eibach got me the Eibach pro kit/FRPP kit with the swaybar kit. He said they are identicle except the FRPP are painted blue.

The Eibach shocks/struts for the FRPP kit or Eibach kit are made by someone else overseas for them to their specs so those you could say aren't 100% eibach.

Wow! Can't touch that price! I'd love to sell to you, but we normally sell them for 199.99 shipped. We'll see what we can do on your next purchase! That's one hell of a deal!

As far as the driveshafts, everything went great. Awaiting reviews now! THANKS FOR ASKING!

10,000 miles on this Pro Kit, and no popping sounds. She rides as tight, and quiet as the day I drove off the dealers lot. The only extra I added at the same time as the Pro Kit was a set of the Steeda Camber Plates.

Does it drive the same as it did with just the steeda chamber plates or did you install both at the same time. Are the camber plates an easy install.

Can anyone read the spring rate numbers off their eibach front and rears and someone do the same on the FRPP's to confirm they're the same there too?

I bought both kits, the springs, and the camber plates around the same time. When they came in I just dropped my car off at Apex Motorsports out here in the San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Clara, and they did the complete install. Dropped it off in the a.m. and picked it up in the afternoon.

As far as the ride goes, to me it just feels like a tighter version of the factory setup. If I'd only done one mod to her it would be the Pro Kit, and the Steeda plates for alignment purposes.
