Has anyone tried the FRPP M-5300-K on their 2005 GT yet ?

The Ford Racing web site advertizes a ~1.5" drop all around.

Wondered how they compare to the Eibach Pro springs ?

Retail price is $225.00

Btw - they also have Ford CMCV delete for $99.00 compared to Steeda's +$300.00 ones. M-9524-46CM


Thanks, Dewman

That would be excellent !

How about castner / camber ?

Did you need to purchase some cc plates to compensate for the extra toe in / out ?

Also, did they lower 1.5" all way around ?

Thanks, Dewman

The FRPP springs lowered my Mustang GT the full 1.5" at all 4 wheels. I also had installed the FRPP swaybars (middle setting on the front SW bar - there are three holes to adjust the amount of sway), but kept the OEM struts. Rides firm, but compliant. I also installed the FRPP 18x8.5 Black Bullits with 255/45/18 Kumhos. Handles great! The Ford Tech who did my install elongated one or two of the mounting holes on the front struts to get the proper front end alignment. Not sure how much he elongated them, but since he is also the alignment Tech and had installed two other kits on other GTs, so mine was an easy install for him. The FRPP springs & swaybars are made by Eibach ahd the struts by Moton or so I have read.

Been shopping around today. The shop I went too quoted me $430 but ONLY for install. Sounded completely outrageous to me. How much did you guys get install for?

We have a regional company in the NW called Les Schwab tires. They charged me 230.00 for the sportlines and they installed them and re alligned the front for the rest like 220.00. Great stance and they do not drag on speed bumps or entering normal driveways
