I tried searching this but came up empty.

Has any one noticed these marks? Perhaps when the car is strapped down, they use this area while transporting.... Time to make a repair :nonono:Thanks

Springs felt good with no significant notice in sport/norm mode. She only went down about .75" but I'm sure she will settle a bit more.

The FRPP Pan Hard Bar is a nice piece, but a PITA to tighten

I think it was hard to tighten because you put the adjusting end on the drivers side. It's much easier on the passenger side.

I have the same marks, I assumed the same as you. I also used the Ford Springs and got the same initial drop. They settled in at about an additional .75 inch (ish) over a week of driving. Let me know if you need some measurements.

Mine is approximately 1" lower and level even though they said 1.25". Have had them on about 8 months. Put on an adjustable pan hard bar to adjust rear alignment.

The rear was at 30" and the front was at 29 1/2".
The back is now at 28 3/4" and the front is now at 28 1/4".

This is measured from the center of the wheel to the fender arch in a straight line.

Definitely do the adjustable pan hard bar. My rear was about 1/2" off center at factory height and once I lowered the car it was an 1 1/4" off center in the same direction. Another nice addition is the lower control arms with drop brackets.

My mindset is, if its a 200mph car it should remain that at minimum after modding it. Otherwise it's de-engineering an awesome automobile. Anything more I can help out with please don't hesitate.

my buds 13 got the 1.25 drop and has the rake, that's all I'm looking for..
When I change out the rims I'll address those marks

Thanks
