Before and after pics....

I've seen many threads seeking pics on the difference the FRHP makes on the stance and ride height. Hope this helps those that are considering the Mustang or those who are considering a ride height adjustment/FRHP package. Before and After (also, tinted the windows and removed spoiler)......

Nice! Is there a big difference in ride quality?

Davis, I still do not have any pics, I found the camera I want to buy, but none of my local sotres have any in stock, so I am waiting.

Anyway, the FRPP FR3 makes the appearance of this car so much better. I got my first thumbs up at a stop light today from some chick. She had an ear to ear grin to match the one I have every time I drive the car. I was just stoked that someone else thinks the car is even nominally as cool as I do!

To answer your question though, I do think there is a fairly noticeable difference in ride quality. I only drove my car once pre-FR3, but the FR3 is much stiffer and is a fairly bouncy ride if you have to deal with any bad roads. Here in Fla it is not a big problem for the most part, and may not be in LA either...FWIW

My commute is not on the best freeways - the stock suspension is about as hard as I would go as long as I was using the car for some of my commuting (100+ miles a day).

I sure would like to lower it a bit, but wouldn't want a stiffer ride. They do look SO much better lowered.

I agree. The ride is much rougher, but what a difference cornering!

Love it. When you removed the spoiler, did you change out the trunk lid? Or ???

Nope, just plugged the holes. Eventually making room for the 3D Carbon Ducktail sploier.

That looks great... but already having the lowered front on the GT/CS... I would be worried everytime I hit a pot-hole,speedbump, entering driveway,etc.

the front is not THAT low.

I have just barely cleared, inadvertently and without meaning to, a low, but standard curb in front of my regular parking space....

driveways, except the steepest of steep, are easy, just take it diagonally!

And the cornering is awesome!!!!!

I agree. It's not that low. I've made it a habit to stop short of any curb/obstruction with all of my cars for years.
