I am dying here...the car is so jacked up in the back, because of the greater spring rate for verts.

I don't want to "slam" the front end as I barely get in and out of my own drive way as it is.

I have seen the standard FFRP Handling pack on a vert and it
doesn't work.

Vert owners any spring/shock suggestions???

Thanks

Steeda makes a set specifically for 'verts, you might want to check into those.

I used Eibach Pro Series Springs all the way around. Very happy with them and the look. I do have to enter my driveway at an angle though.

Check out the H&R springs as well. I have them and love them. I also use the DSpec adjustable shocks.

The other option would be an adjustable coil over.

Works just fine for a number of us, but to each his own. I am extremely pleased with the stance of my car and the upgraded handling characteristics. But as others have already posted... plenty of choices for you. Good luck!

Why doesn't it work? I know the FRPP catalog mentions "Specifically designed for coupes" but a friend of mine just got his SuperSnake 'vert back from Shelby and it has the FRPP kit on it and it looks fine? Is there something I missed somewhere that there is a problem with this setup?

Inquiring minds want to know...

If you have a vert, you NEED specific springs for it. Period.

I got my car in '06 and had to wait a while until someone came out with a vert spring. I'm glad I waited and got the right spring.

I'm running the Steeda spring (5558218) and have had zero problems.
