FRPP Springs installed

Just got it home from spring install. I was afraid I wouldn't like it lowered, but I think it's perfect!

I used the FRPP M-5300-L springs, but they're for Shelby's. I used to have an 09 GT & I had the 5300-P springs on it.

Had them on my '08, and have them on my '12. Perfect stance IMO... w/the added performance as a bonus. Not sure if you have an adjustable panhard bar, but it'll center your rear axle, which tends to drift toward the driver's side when lowered...

I knew you'd like it!! Very nice man. Great car. Have you ever thought about changing the hood? I've seen some Shelby's with a cowl hood and they are sexayyy

If I were to change the hood, the only one I think I'd put on it would be a Super Snake one. Maybe someday.....

Nice, really wish that was the way the 07-09 cars came from the factory with that stance and those wheels.

I'm mulling suspension set-ups and wheels right now with just around 50k (why do I want to keep saying 60k???) the stock dampers seem to have lost thier edge and with the UMI rotor-joint URCA and LRCA the delrin bushed ends are starting to wear on me as well as probably needing some adustment due to the where in the bushing as well as getting the drag radials off the car as they genuinely do not match my driving style.

I'm torn between the FRPP kit (was impressed with the FR3 kit on my old 07 GT) and kit-bashing a set-up using Whiteline components koni or tokico dampers and perhaps Steeda springs

Can you feel any difference in the ride. I love the look, but I don't want it to ride like wagon.
