Are you guys still working on a front-only 7/8" drop kit?

Absolutely.

You said they are $240-$260 and now say they are $190 for them? Which is true?

Also, what's the difference between the Performance Springs and the Handling Springs?

I said they should be.

I never know pricing until we finalize it....and after the pricing analysis, we came up with $199.95 :cheers:

i see the springs are on the site now, are they readily available now? im looking to order a set and have them show up next week, just want to make sure that will happen lol.

Ordered a set. The wifey said I'm not allowed to lower this car because she hates the harsh rides of my other cars, but with nearly identical spring rates as my stock PP springs she can stuff it :lol:

Do I need new bump stops/jounce bumpers with these lowering springs or can I just reuse the stock ones?

Cut a rib or two off the stock jounce bumpers. Or get the Ford Racing Jounce bumpers.

I ghetto cut them on my 2008 GT when I lowered it. I feel like I've grown up a bit so maybe I should just spring the $80 for the FRPP set...

Honestly, you can run it how ever you want - but I recommend simply trimming the OEM's.

Months ago I did all the math and testing, for the best amount to trim.....but I am not sure if our product design guy is applying those photos to the instructions (I gotta jump that right after I post this)

The FRPP Kit will work just fine though, for those who want to use them. Or, the people who swap to our springs from the Eibach, can use those as well.

Keep in mind, the rear does not drop much on this kit....the front will be the more important piece to focus on.

BCeagle08 · Jun 25, 2015

Thanks for the input. I'm sure they will work just fine with the way you guys recommend it, but I think I'll get the damn jounce bumpers just in case.

$70 is worth not dealing with the possibility of complaints from the wife in the passenger seat :lol:

Any ETA on the front only kit? Any adverse effects if I were to get front only performance springs?

The front only kit is currently available on their website.

BMR Tech · Jun 26, 2015

Well, technically......the ones on the site are not our "front only" drop spring. People are buying them left and right, but that is not our specific front only design.

We always have, and always will sell our springs in sets of 4, and also in F/R pairs.

The current front spring on the site is simply the front spring from the "Performance" kit of springs.

The SP089 is in the works. That will be the "front only" spring part # for the people who only want the front drop.

The SP089 will be the same rate as the Performance front springs, just drop a touch less up front.

The SP089 is the one for me, I think... :thumbsup:

just saw that the SP080, SP081, and SP082 was released today.. .what kind of front and rear drop would SP080 have on a GT PP ?

BMR Tech · Jun 26, 2015

I'm trying to get away from drop amount specifics to be honest.

On that note, they dropped 2 of our PP cars 1.24" F and .35 - .41" R.

Base won't see as much drop, because they're already lower on average. But they will still sit the same after dropped.

I made a thread with pics of stance, and those pics are also on the product description page.

I will be adding customer results soon and also make a thread for people to post them. ;)

Just wanted to say, if you have:

Front: FR3C-3K100-AA (all PP should have these)
Rear: FR3C-5K570-A (all PP should have these)

You don't need to cut the fronts (I still recommend 3/8" off though)....and the rears, cut 5/8".....and you will essentially have the FRPP Kit. :ford:

If you don't have those fronts, then just cut your front stops to be a total height of 1-7/8" (or just 2" to simplify it)

I'm looking for a drop such as this, and I have 19" wheels with 265/45 and 285/35. I would just get sportlines and call it a day, but I read the the negative camber is excessive and is bad for handling/launching?
