Any one here with FRPP B springs on there car? Im looking to improve the handling without creating to harsh a ride. My only concern with the B springs over the C springs is there may be to soft to notice and difference in performance over stock...And I think C springs would be to harsh..which is why Im leaning towards B,

thanks for anyone that has imput.

Only difference between the two sets is that the B's have variable rate fronts and C's are linear (constant) rate fronts. They both lower the vehicle the same but B's are a bit softer ride

with the B's having the softer ride, does that mean alot softer performance?

also for the people with B or C springs, what is the amount of drop? The Ford Racing site says less that an inch front and rear. I'd just like to get some 1st hand info.
I'm looking to purchase a set for my son's 98.
sorry for the hijack, just thought it would be relevant

Yeah, with that and the addition of changing all the bushings to polyurethane and the CC plates the car handled wicked awesome.

I have race craft springs and these things slammed my car, along with x2 balljoints, I am almost at the ground, be prepared to put a dent in your H/X pipe,

Who makes race craft anyways? Saleen or eibach or racecraft?? always wondered that...

I'm thinking that with B/C springs having only a 1" drop CC plates would not be needed.
and B springs being progressive rate the ride should be pretty tolerable.

^ And you can run the OEM struts/shocks. With the "C" versions, you'll need a stouter strut/shock to dampen the constant rate spring.
