Talk about cheap! For right around 100$ they supposedly drop your 'Stang around 2 inches. Is this a deal? Any experience? What other expenses will I incur, aside from labor? Thanks!

I believe I bought the Dropzone ones off ebay... I am slammed! 2 1/4 but thats what I wanted... Understand 1.5 inch lowered is bumpy... more low u go more bumpy it gets!!! These wont ride like eibach! But you will notice!

I cant say from experience with those springs, but I would think that something that affects your ride, handling, etc I would go witha name brand and not skimp there.

You can get frpp for $140 shipped or so from www.mustangtuning.com or better yet get steedas or eibach for $200.

Had them on my maxima and the blew out the stock shocks in 2k miles, but then again the factory shocks were not made for the drop.

Don't cheat yourself possible quality when you can buy others for a minimal price difference. I think the steeda's are like 189.

ive got them. ride quality is better than stock. i feel the bumps alot more but im still running my stock shocks/struts. front dropped about 2", rear almost 2, more like 1.8". ill snap a few pics for ya tomorrow.


just because its a "no-name" brand, doesnt mean theyre not quality springs, i love them, in both looks and handling.

I just ordered some FRPP springs and was wondering what is so great about Eibach? What are the spring rates and how much will it drop a car. The FRPP's say that it will drop 1.2" in the front and ~3/4-1" in the rear. I figure that if I pull the rubbers it should give about another 1/2"

I never heard of the springs, but I got H&R Super Sports. Its a bumpy ride but I did put some drag shocks in there so ride quality isnt a big deal with me. H&R's are great springs, never heard of a problem with lowering consistencies and mine dropped close to 2 inches. The body roll is gone and I love them. If u go to Tirerack.com i got mine for 205 bucks, and they run them on a lot of the road race cars in Germany.
