FRPP Springs - who makes them

And is the drop even front-rear? Or is the rear dropped more than front?

Thanks!

Can't speak to the drop because I don't have them but I think they are made by Karcraft?

Here is a pic of my 06'GT with the FRPP handling pack installed(with stock 17's).The drop didn't level out the car in the rear but overall the drop was nice.The handling was great.I later installed the 18" bullits9third pic) and it handled and looked even better.

Hey Poco, what size tires are you running on the front of your car?

I found my install to do the same thing, kit is supposed to drop the car 1.5" front and rear, springs are 60% stiffer than the springs on the manual trans car and the front bar is adjustable.

Kinda stiff at low and medium speeds, but the kit comes into its own at high speeds (found the motion of my car to be well controlled compared to the stock setup at speeds 90+)

Finally got my 255/45R18 KDW2's installed, altogether they have provided a very noticable increase in handling.

With the tires and the suspension I've had the confidence to go a full 15 miles faster through an esse on my "test track", and I've been able to get another 5 or 7 miles out of an on ramp on the way to work, maybe a bit more. There is a nice on ramp o the way home I've been itching to try out, but traffic has precluded it maybe tomorrow night I'll be able to test it out. Hopefully I can get another 5 to 10 miles out of it.

I've got a few more components to add (rear control arm relocating brackets, bump-steer kit, X5 ball joints up front to restore both front and rear suspesion geomterys), but on its own the FRPP FR3 suspension pack has proven mighty good.

They are Eibachs. The FRPP sway bar kit is also made by Eibach.
