I had FRPP C springs on my old 01 GT. The handling and ride were great but the car just didn't sit low enough for my liking.

There's a pretty big difference between the FRPP springs and H&R springs in terms of how much they lower the car. H&R offers a pretty drastic drop while the FRPP's are only slightly lower than stock.

Personally, I think that 99.9% of mustang owners would be happier with the H&R drop.

Can yall post pics? I've been told these will drop the car 2inches. They were bought for a fox body and I bought the fox and got a bunch of parts with it. I ran the part number and they seem to be the same. I'm planning on going to an 18 inch wheel also

The FRPP's will only lower the car about 1"
