Here is my car with and without the FRPP B-series springs. The ride is darn near stock. The car is much flatter in turns and just feels much better overall. The car isn't slammed, but I still have good ground clearance and I don't have to worry about steep drives and most speed bumps.

i always thought springs, shocks an struts would be a pain to do but i talked to my friend who isnt even a mechanic or anything an doesnt know to much about cars an he put new springs, shocks an struts on by himself without any problem. he just rented a spring compressor from autozone, so i just gota rent one which wont be a problem cause i work there.

i read somewhere that you dont even need one to take the springs out.

Thanks man...working on it now. I am trying to decided between a pro 5.0 shifter or a new bumper......

I did my own suspension over the weekend (springs, struts, & shocks). Could have did it in one day if i had the tools (impact and spring compressor). You dont HAVE to get a spring compressor but it helps though. Here is the write up i followed pretty basic.....

The front is where the compressor is needed. The back you can push the rear end down far enough to kick out the bottom half of the spring....(explained in better detail in link above)

So the a-arms will drop down enough to get the springs out right. How long does the install take?

you do not need a spring compressor and dont even think of paying someone to change them, its ridiculously easy. i used a big screw driver to pop the the old ones out in front and then it was cake. the back are even easier.

the backs are really easy, the only place you may want a spring compressor is getting the fronts back in, but its not necessary

Not bad for a photochop. I like the stance either way.
