FRPP FR3 Kit. They say 1.5 all around. I've never measured.

One rough ride though.

Any photos of cars on Steeda Ultra Lites?

To the guys with Tokico Hp's.......are you really Happy with the ride or do you wish you went with D-Specs?

Keep the photo's coming. It does help to see all the combinations.....

I haven't had the chance to compare the two. I can say I am happier with the hp s/s than I was with the stock struts and shocks. I drive mostly the same streets not much drag racing or road racing so I figured I didn't really need the adjustabilty of the d specs.

I'm pretty much in the same boat with the shocks. I want a lower stance, but no racing of any sort. Plus I know better than to do Springs w/o Struts as Sometime down the road I'll be doing Shocks/Struts.

I'm kinda 50/50 right now on choosing which Shock and Strut. Tokico Hp vs. Tokico D-Spec. 'bout $200 diff in price. Heck I'm kinda split between springs too. Thinking Steeda Ultra Lite vs. Eibach Pro kit.

I like them. I wanted to drop a little, but mostly wanted to level the car, that is why I went with them. The ride is good, but as with most this is all I know besides stock.

Same with the Tokico HP's. Rides better than stock, not rough like the FRPP guys complain about, but it's all I know, I've never compared.

Steeda Ultralites; 7/8" F, 1" R
D-Specs coming soon, but won't affect ride height.
