Having the handling pack a couple days now on the car. It seems to put down quicker and accelerate alot better going in and out of turns and no rolling at all. Of course you do feel every imperfection and pebble in the road The numbers from the lowering are the front dropped 1 7/8 inches and the rear 2 1/4.
However last night we were out and I noticed a clicking or popping sound coming from the front right side when the brake was applied when coming to a stop or making a turn around a corner applying the brake. I have never heard this sound before on any car I've had so it's new to me. And it's bad timing since the kit just got put Fri. so I am going to call the mechanic Monday morning and see if he could take a look. He may or may not have tightend something or something could be rubbing. Like I said it is off and on and only comes when applying the brakes to stop or at a low speed.
I think there was a TSB about popping noises. I think it's something like the spring was put in incorrectly... like it needs to be rotated. I know this will have nothing to do with your situation, but it could be a similar problem. But then again I don't know much ;o) Good luck though, sounds like a lot of fun.
Ride quality does suffer slightly, though there is a positive change in handling. The best part of the kit is the factory warrenty covers everything if dealer installed. Price for the entire kit was $1700 installed by Ford of North Scottsdale.

Yeah the ride quality I notice more on the side roads than the highway. But the way it handles around the turns is great and then coming out it seems to hold on to the floor better at higher speeds and the push and response is very quick. I paid about the same as you for everything.
Originally I had been quoted $1100.00 for labor but I think the guy I was talking to was not familiar with the kit.
Thanks for the comments I know I'm no Walter Iooss. The pictures were quickly taken. I am trying to get out and get some better photos of her. Maybe this weekend.
