    FRPP B springs & Strange 10 ways

    Excuse perhaps a dumb question, but can you safely cut coils off of a progressive spring? Do the B-springs have dead coils in back?

    FRPP parts feedback

    Also consider the FRPP "B" springs...they lower the same as the Cs, but the ride is not as stiff (they're progressive not linear)...it's closer to stock from what I've heard (I have a set, but they're still waiting for installation). :nice:

    stock spring rate?

    Yep...Ford Racing Catalog says 450/210. :nice:

    post pics of inside gauges!!!!

    Is that the FRPP center gauge pod? What color is it (the catalog doesn't say)?

    Racing Stripes?? To do or not to do?

    Rocker panel stripes are something to consider as well...I've got white year-specific ones (ie the 2002-only style) on my '02 True Blue Mustang, and I love 'em. Vinyl holds up well...just be careful when washing around it, and don't wax over it. Re the retro styling cues, I've always found...

    Ford Racing C-Springs installed *before and after pics*

    Looks great! I've got a set of FRPP B springs waiting for installation, and if my stance ends up looking like yours, I'll be quite a happy man. :banana: BTW I love the raked look as well... :hail2:

    Springs

    Yes, the C springs will stiffen up the car nicely. They're springs designed for roadracing, so they're stiff on all corners (to improve handling as much as possible). Downside is if you're into drag racing, launching without lots of wheelspin becomes harder due to the aforesaid stiffness. :nice:

    Wheel Color Change

    While I like my deluxe edition wheels, those '99 "limited" polished aluminum ones are quite sharp. :nice: Never have seen the Spring feature ones though...

    FMS C-Springs (M-5300C) pricing/?'s

    Also try DPM at www.buyfordracing.com. Good prices, and fast shipping. I got my B-springs from them. :shrug:

    Help! Driver seat is loose

    Uh oh. So you mean if I ignore this problem, it isn't going to go away??? :D

    Auto-X a mustang

    Definitely give it a try...I've been doing it for years, and while I'm definitely not a stellar driver, I always have a great time. As said above, practice is the best mod, no matter what your class (F-stock or ESP I'm assuming). Every great racer had to start somewhere. As far as other...

    Racing seatbelts ?? anyone know of any ?

    Might want to check out the CG-lock device for around $40. It's a little gadget that slips on the tongue of the belt that allows you to "lock" the waist strap part so it won't move. That way you can tighten it up nicely to keep you in place during hard maneuvering. :nice: Best part is...

    Help! Driver seat is loose

    Subscribing. I seem to have the same issue. It's not major, but I definitely hear/feel something move sometimes during hard cornering... :shrug:

    Raised Logo Tires

    Yeah, I've always liked them too...but do they even make those anymore (except for SUVs)? Would you have to go with all-seasons to get that style? :(

    Is my car performing right?

    I've always viewed the Mustang transmission as yet another retro feature of the car: it's basically a 4-spd with an overdrive. :D

    labor cost for spring change

    Subscribing. There are a few of us on the board who live in the city and simply don't have any space to work on their cars.

    Any body have the FRPP Catback, recommendations

    BigConig also posted some very cool videos of his GT with the FRPP system, if I recall.

    Any body have the FRPP Catback, recommendations

    I really like my FRPP catback...it's pleasingly loud and nicely deep in tone. It's great for a daily driver Mustang for which you want musclecar sound but not "pull me over" or "this thing's giving me a headache" volume. :nice: No drone is also nice, as is stainless steel.

    How do you "clean" out your engine?

    They seem to like it rough, don't they? :D

    Called Firestone for an alignment...

    Not to hijack the thread, but a related question: after having lowering springs put in, how long should one wait before getting the car aligned? I know new springs take awhile to take a set...is there a usual time, or is it by miles? Thanks. Can't wait to get my FRPP B-springs in and get...
