zcp789 Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 and does the rear still ride a little higher than the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6-Speed Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 Yes, on my 2007 the rake is still apparent after lowering, but it's not as pronounced as it was with the stock suspension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bretts08GT500 Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 I just installed these on my vert and the difference between the front and rear is less than a 1/4 inch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SicShelby Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 The FRPP springs lowered mine 1 1/2 in the rear and an 1 1/4 in the front. The rearend is still higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlwnSn8k Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 Bringing up an old thread, but how do these feel on the stock struts. My plan right now is to just do the FRPP springs, necessary camber bolts/plates, and adjustable panhard. I was going to do the entire handling pack, but I like the way the car handles as is. I would just like it a tad lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrhsvt Posted December 13, 2010 Report Share Posted December 13, 2010 I have FRPP lowering springs only and it rides just fine. Maybe a bit rougher but not a huge deal at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would just like it a tad lower. I still have the OEM shocks/struts with the FRPP springs and they ride fine so far. I know the shocks/struts will tend to wear faster since they aren't optimized for the lower ride height, so they'll be replaced one day. In the mean while I am enjoying the enhanced ride and lower stance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlwnSn8k Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 So with the FRPP springs only lowering this short amount, are camber/caster plates or bolts required to be able to get to hit say a -.75 degrees of camber for daily driving? Or will I be able to reach this setup without them? Sorry for the questions about this simple stuff. I can tell you everything you need to know about Honda/Acura suspensions, but I have just been out of the domestic cars for too long...lol. My last Mustang was in '96.

Lowering the front end will increase negative camber. My camber is set to -0.8 (driver's side) and -0.9 degrees with MM camber/caster plates and you can see from the picture below that the strut stem is positioned outboard of center. I would have to believe on my car, you can't get to -0.75 degrees without a means to adjust camber. Could it be withing spec without the camber plates? .... Perhaps, but I wanted to be able to dial-in the camber to minimize tire wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never cheated out on doing a suspension setup right, so I guess I will be doing the camber/caster plates on here. Thanks for the help and the pics; they helped put it into perspective.

Wingrider Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 So are the FRPP springs lowering the car more than what comes as part of the SVPP on the GT500, or are they equal. What are the better springs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
