UPS dropped off my springs, isolators and CC plates today. I installed as much as I could wo the struts/shocks. I am pretty impressed with the quality. I was shorted a 3/8" washer with the CC kit. Just ran to auto zone and picked up a box of them. Install is really easy, even with having to drill a fourth hole, just take your time and do it right. I can't wait to give this combo a test run. Here are some picks of where I am.

springs:



CC plates:



I hope this is better than my old FRPP C springs and KYB AGX setup. For some reason (price) I think it will be.

Also waiting on warmer weather. I have Koni Sport shocks/struts and FRPP "C" springs sittin in the basement. What did you give for the control arms? Debating on those myself.

The old setup was on my 96GT (dead), it handled well. There was a lot less body roll and nose dive. It was a huge improvement over stock but the ride was really rough. The springs were pretty stiff and I was not please with the KYB's. The instructions that came with them said they shouldn't be installed on lowered cars, maybe that is why I was disappointed in their performance. I am looking forward to this new set up though. Shocks coming tomorrow, I'll be in NY. Guess I'll have to wait a week to finish the install.

I'll get some pics up once it is done. I'm hoping for 1.5" all around with the isolators installed.
