lowering springs....Eibach or FRPP?

[1999WhiteSVT]

ok so im looking at lowering springs. Eibachs run about $200 and Fords are $205 (using the 10% over dealer cost link). since the price is basically the same, which ones would be better? they both drop 1.5 inches front and back, but will there be a difference in ride quality or overall spring quality? thanks

The Eibachs are a great quality and great ride quality. I personally prefer the Eibachs they make less noise from what I can tell. Both sets give a good ride and a good stance. It would be a toss up.

I believe teh Eibach's and FRPP springs are one in the same.

Somebody corret me if I'm wrong.

as far as I've been able to research Eibach makes the FRPPs (J springs)

Random suggestion: H&R Race springs great stance and the car handles better.

+1 for the H&R springs. I've got the sports and even with the factory shocks still in place my times on Pueblo's 2.2 mile road course improved by between 2-3 seconds compared to the stock springs.

Kind of wish I would have gone with the race springs though.

You are correct.

H&R sport springs are great, i really like mine but will be dumping them soon when my coilovers go on

I have had both Eibach and H&R's.

H&R's hands down. Worth the extra money. :beer:

Are the H&R's really that much better in performance? I want it lower, yes, but I'd much rather have it perform right than sit lower if necessary. How much of a drop are they? Are there more than one line?

 

[Torch10th]

If you want handling go with the H&R springs. The sports are good, the race springs are better.

You can get away with the stock shocks/struts on the sports but they are still too softly damped for the sports. You'll need to switch to a shock like a bilstien HD right away with the race springs.

Nope. I bought it from a 65 year old lady bone stock 3 years ago. Sold it last October. Just cant make myself take the pic out of my sig.

ok, well i dont plan on doing at open track racing or anything like that. i just want it to sit lower without killing the ride. looks like i will probably go with the eibachs.
