So, I put my FRPP 1.5" drop springs on this evening. Attached is a side view picture of it with stock springs (4x4), lowering springs on the front only (hot rod) and lowrida (FRPP all around). Here she be:

LOL, thanks all, appreciate the approval. Only took me and my bud a tad bit over 2 hours to get it done but it was a 2 man job for sure. It would have been a pain doing it solo and shoving those front assemblies back in and such. Next up on the list is likely upper and lower control arms to make it hook better or is there something better than that to get?

I just noticed a lot of chatter at times when my car was spinning, it was like the rear wheels were slapping the pavement and bouncing or something. Have to find a way to keep them pinned to the ground better, guessing those will do the trick but i've been resarching it.

If u dont mind the noise go with sphecial bushing when getting ur control arms. The provide great wheel hop control with little binding.

sphecial bushing? that the poly one or what? I thought all aftermarket control arms came with the stiffer bushing and such? Extra road noise or what? I don't really mind, my offroad pipe will likely drown it out lol.

Poly bushing work fine and are great for track use but spheical bushing are a little stiffer and help more with suspension binding. And yes road noise is what i was talking about.

I'll see what all I can find, any recommendations on good products that won't break the bank?

I have sphericals on my car. All you hear going down the road is squeaking. And my longtubes, o/r H, and cat back doesn't help hide the sound. Plus you can feel the car vibrate ALOT more.

So stock = soft and crappy...... poly = stiffer and not a whole lot of noise...... and spherical = hardest, best performance and most noise? For my car being lightly modded you think i'd see an improvement going spherical and how much noise we talking lol?
