blown9350lx Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I need some input dont know too many people in my area with 20" rims that can answer this question hopefully someone here could. I installed the FRPP Handling pack, Steeda camber plates and 20" Alcoas the ride is offcourse rough expected that but when I hit a bump it makes a loud noise just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I did install the suggested size tires 255 35 and 275 35 and as long as the road is smooth its a fantastic ride just when its bumpy oh boy its real bad.

TexasShelby Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I didn't go near that far with the suspension, just steeda springs, bmr LCAs and panhard bar. I'm running about the same tire size with my Nitto INVOs and I've got a really nice ride for such a short sidewall, but the handling improved dramatically as did the road noise dropped quite a bit compared to the F1s. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ff500 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think you can adjust the ride with the frpp handling kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blown9350lx Posted February 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 I think you can adjust the ride with the frpp handling kit. I have it on the softer side but not too soft, Im wondering if I should put it softer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm getting ready to install J&M camber plates, FRPP handling pack, and Alcoa wheels so it will be almost exactly your setup. Already have the CA's and panhard done. I would expect a little rougher ride but maybe something is not dialed in just right..... Good info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you or your installer trim the bump stops? If they are left as stock, you will hit them with the FRPP kit. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Snake Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 I have the FRPP kit and love it. My shocks are set at 4 turns out, firmer than stock ride but still comfortable, no noises/bangs. The installation parts did need to be torqued properly and the bushings lubed, and relubed every so often. The 20 inch tires will degrade the ride quailty. I'm staying with the 18's. My bump stops have not been trimmed and have not hit, but maybe I should catch a refresher dukes of hazzard driving class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
