I need a suspension upgrade for my 09 mustang GT. I can find Eibach pro-system plus (35101.680) for around $800. I think the FRPP Pack is around $1200, and comes with strut tower bar. Im just looking to get some better handling. does any body have either of these suspension kits?? Any input would be greatly appreciated..

I have the FR3 on my personal car and I love it! I used to use Eibach but their quality has gone down big time in the last years, I've seen so many broken springs on all types of vehicle makes and models.

Can anyone else offer some feedback? I too am looking into FRPP suspension but would love to save the $400 and go with Eibach kit. I do see most peope have the Eibach prokit in the forums.

I'm planning on that exact Eibach kit. Eibach is a suspension-oriented company, it's what they do, y'know? You'll have no problems with the Pro-Kit. Plus, you can always get a STB for like $120 later.

Where did you find it for $800? The cheapest I could find was on Stage3 for $900.

I ended up getting the eibach kit 35101.680

got it at dallas mustang for $799 and $30 shipping.

I also ordered a strut tower brace there for like $80.

installed saturday, drives like a whole new car. takes turns like its on rails. i absolutely love it.

the ride quality does go down. you can feel more bumps in road, but the excellent handling makes up for that. drives like a champ

I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a suspension upgrade.

next is rear control arms and panhard bar

Awesome, thanks for the info! Can't wait to get this installed myself.


Did you need any alignment/caster camber plates/bolts for install?

no prob dude.

i ordered camber bolts, but did not install them at first...

I only installed them after the shop said they could not get it aligned properly.

so to answer your question, yes, i installed the camber bolts.

Eibachs are 4 way progressive springs which will make your car handle well around turns(road racing) and decrease nose dives. FFRP springs have progressive springs on the front only which means they decrease nose dives but have a specific rate spring on the rear. This means they do not handle as well as the Eibachs around corners but are better for drag racing due to their weight transfer properties. This is the only thing that I would base my choice on. By the way I have the Pro Kit on my car and I have a lot of fun with it.
