It's really not at all a bad install, to do yourself. However, I would have recommended Adjustable struts/shocks, adjustable Panhard Bar,LCA's, LCA relocation brackets, & an adjustable UCA while you're there. I did all this in about 6 hours in a garage w/ jackstands. You can rent a Strut Spring compressor from any auto parts store.

I ordered the BMR Adjustable Panhard bar for $150 from American Muscle. I plan on doing BMR LCA's with the relocation bracket. Never have ran a UCA but I plan on it to get my 60 foot down.

Does FRPP make all those parts for our cars? minus the adjustable shocks/struts. If not I might just go with full BMR suspension

Go with BMR. Their customer service is amazing. Kelly is an awesome guy and is taking care of me in a giant way here with my LCA I took of my GT.

His customer service and the quality of their products are unmatched IMHO.

I ordered the K-Springs today can not wait until they are on.

Why did you order the K springs when the M-5300-T is made for the Boss? I had the M-5300-T on my 13 Boss when I had it and liked the drop and the ride.

T's look good but I think the k is the perfect drop for these cars

But not the correct spring rate for the OEM shocks. There is a reason they made Boss specific springs and just didn't have you slap one of the other ones on. The T's sit pretty low when settled. I had to be very careful when driving not to have the trans scoop or side exhaust bottom out on speed bumps.

T springs are a bit stiffer but still a very good ride. Eliminated almost all the body roll and nose dive and the stance is much better. Just installed these about a month ago.

Op, installing springs isn't that bad. American Muscle has step by step instructions posted on their site. If you follow those, it will be a breeze. You will need a strut spring compressor. I put a deposited on a set at Autozone and they gave me a full refund when I returned it, so you are getting to use it for free.

I did mine in my garage, well the fronts at friends garage on his lift, but If you dont want to do it yourself I can give you the name and number to the only guy in KC that i will let touch my 69 or my 14. He aligned my 69 after i had new frame rails and strut towers welded in and it drives perfect.

He has a smaller shop (3 lifts) out in Belton MO, it would be like a 10-20 min drive depending on where at in Leawood you are.

He can install it all and then align it to the specs you want or back to the factory specs.
