FRPP Drop Springs went in......"M5300P" Springs.
VERY EASY Install! its a subtle drop which is what I wanted....but I can definitely tell the difference. Still gonna take a bit for the springs to settle.
Measurements:
BEFORE ....... AFTER
DF: 29.25............28.75" PF: 29.25...........29.00"
DR: 29.75..............29.15 PR: 29.85.............29.00"
I think that is all I will be doing for now..... till I get to NC in December.

Yeah, looked at those but not enough for me. I went with the pro kit for a slightly lower drop. I agree the install is pretty easy if you have the right tools. Car looks good.

That's how these should look! That is the perfect amount of drop for appearance. A drop that ends up with the top of the tire much closer to a round wheel well than the front or back of the tire looks lame IMO.
BTW, is this forum half empty or what? It has a thumbs down smilie in the default list and I couldn't even find a thumbs up. LoL

I said on our other site those were a great deal!!! Have you put them on? You may need an adjustable pan-hard bar to keep them even. When I dropped my 2010 and added these same wheels I was off-center by 1/2"
