FRPP or Eibach Springs

I'm hearing that Eibach actually manufactures the FRPP lowering springs. Good reviews for both. I just want my 500 to sit down a little and a little handling improvement is a bonus. I have the SVTPP on mine so that comes with the adjustable Bilstien dampers.

Shes not a daily driver so ride harshness is not a concern but would rather go with the ones that offer a little more comfort.

any feedback?

Between those 2 I'd go with Ford Racing. I'm not sure if they are built by Eibach, but even if they are Ford Racing often makes changes to their items to fit their specs. There are so many options out there, I'd also consider Steeda or BMR.

FRPP FTMFW. Know a guy that did the FRPP lowering kit (springs,shocks, panhard bars etc) on an '06 GT, its good stuff. Don't know anyone thats used BMR,but its sweet looking gear, that would be choice #2. I personally wouldn't deal with Steeda , just by reputation, but thats more the shop end of things than the products.

I would have to say FRPP is my first choice as well due to the fact its a Ford product. I agree ChadStang that having their products made with adjustments to ford vehicles is a plus

IMO whatever is cheaper between the two. Eibach is a very reputable manufacturer of suspension components. I bought the Sport Pro kit, wanted the FRPP kit to keep it all Ford, but they would only deliver the kit to a dealer then I had to get it home etc. Eibach shipped to my house. Install was easy, took the better part of a day, and OMG what a difference. Ride, handling, stance, outstanding. Good luck with whatever you buy.

I had Eibach's on an older car. They were good, a little pricey but nice stance. I picked the FRPP for this car. Seemed liked the best value going. I am happy with them, and the rides not bad at all for what I do.

Good call. Installing the springs are pretty straight forward as well. Didn't take me long at all. Nor did I have to use a spring compressor.

I'd recommend doing yourself! Really quite easy. Then all you have to do is take it in for alingment. Don't forget a panhard bar as well.
