I have FRPP springs, but haven't put them on yet. From what I was reading before I bought them, everyone was very happy with them, no complaints.

I had dropzone on my last car and after about a year and a half they started sagging a lot in the rear and it looked awful. i may have got a defective set but i wouldn't buy another. Just my .02

I just bought th FRP c springs from American Muscle too. From what ive been reading and heard you will not need CC plates just an alignment. I think these are what come stock on the Bullits.

I've have the same FRPP progressive rate lowering springs on my car for over 10 years. Not sure if they are B or C, I have about a 1.5" drop. These have not sagged or degraded in ride over time. Although, as with any lowering spring, the ride will be stiffer.

Other things to consider when lowering a car is getting height specific shocks & struts along with adjustable caster/caber plates. I did not get either when I put my springs on and my front tires, with approx. 30k miles on them, are noticeably worn on the inside.

I am upgrading my suspension this spring with shorter shocks & struts and adjustable CC plates. I'll be ordering some new tires later.

Hope this helps

-Bob

I put UPR/Eibach springs on my '03 GT convertible. I did not use shorter shocks/struts but Castor/camber plates are an important upgrade for two reasons. One, you need them to have enough camber adjustment. You cannot get optimum results when you don't have enough adjustment and secondly you get the advantage of having CASTOR adjustment. There isn't any in a stock Mustang! Now you can run up to 6 degrees which will truly improve your handling. I also used offset rack bushings. I would suggest that you be conservitive in how much you lower your car. I'm 1 1/2 inches and can't go over speed bumps and often ground out on bad roads. Pa is loaded with bad roads!
