I have the FRPP handling pack and am very happy with everything except the Shocks and struts. The car handled great with the whole package but the ride was a bit to rough for my taste and these mine fields we call roads.

So after talking with Sam strano I changed the ford shocks and struts to the Koni SRT's. World of difference on the bumps. And the great handling is still there.

If I was to do it over again. I would buy the handling pack minus the Shocks and struts and get the koni's. And you dont need to worry ground clearance

I think I'm just going to get the Koni's STR's and the Sport springs. I might get the strut mount from the gt500, but that's about it. I don't think anything else is necessary to be quite honest. I like my ride the way it is right now, but I hate the SUV gap. UGH

I don't know how the FRPP struts are that don't adjust, but from what I've been in with the adjustable ones and the FRPP springs, the car was fine.

I think "good" is subjective. What some of us might find stiff and unbearable, others might tolerate. There are plenty of options out there to choose from, just depends on what you can/want to handle.

Right. There's just no way to quantify ride quality. One man's "firm" is another man's "unbearable".
