Al I'm thinking of dropping mine down with the FRPP springs. It looks so good on these cars to see that gap close on the wheel wells. Should've done it that way from the beginning. Oh well.

 

Yeah...you and me both.FRPP springs have a nice drop.My Steeda spring are nice but the drop just isn't low enough.

 

But how is the ride witht the FRPP springs? If they are the same as Eibach, many members have complained about the harshness and the fact that the shocks/struts go after 30,000 miles.

 

Taunt. The ride is much more "controlled". There's much less upward travel when you hit a bump, while the return from that upward travel is shorter. All this gives you better handling and road feel while sacrificing comfort. On well maintained roads, it's a non-issue. On bad roads, it plain sucks.

30K? That's good amount of miles for any damper. Did the guys complaining mention what kind of roads they were driving? Were they doing any autocross? Remember, these parts are engineered for performance, not necessarly longevity.

 

I ran a FRPP handling pack on an 06'GT on Denver streets and mountain twisties. No doubt handling was great but there was feedback on the hiway. It didn't track but road thump was a common occurrence.The FRPP dampners were nothing like a set of adjustable Tokico D-specs.

 

Steeda bump steer kit to the rescue!!

 

Not much to say about mine really, bone stock.

 

Here's a question then since I am pretty much a suspension newbie I guess.

For a non-stock set-up (FRRP, Steeda, Roush, Saleen), how long would you figure a set of shocks would be good for?

I am almost at 40K on my Pony and it has had the Saleen suspension since I picked it up

D-specs had popped into my head recently becasue of the adjustability factor too.....

 

+1!

 

Here's another SGT with 18's and lowered by Shelby Autos during the upfitting process.

I've seen the D-spec's on the net for around $500.00 for the set,some places a little less.
Stoenr...I now have a Steeda bump steer kit on my 07'GT. My wife took it in for me while I was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago.Another cardiac event.

 

. You're a better man than me !

 

Do you have any more pics of your car? I have a Sonic Blue, and these rims look sweet....but I'd like to see a few more pics. Let me know, thanks

 

 

Roush rear springs, Shelby rims.

 

Amazing! 95 posts and not a single instance of "Fanblades". Are they prohibited? Nevertheless, here's a set:18x8.5, 245-45 Potenza RE-01Rs, Steeda Sport Springs.









That one includes, for comparison, 19x9/10 Saleen Parnelli Jones Edition wheels and Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 275-35 tires.
Followed by my attempt to show what the 'Blades would look like with dark centers, plain, all dark.

 

Frank S, what spoiler is that?!?

 

I ran a set of stock polished bullitts,fanblades,DD Bullitts,Konig Beyonds and my current AR Redlines. No more changes

 

drooooool

So sweet

what tires in the last pic?

 

205/45Rear(18x10)-255/45Front(18x9) 555 Nittos. I'm extreamly happy with the ride and handling of the Nittos.
