Default FRPP Springs Only....Long Term Updates??

Am curious.......guys that decided to do lowering springs with keeping the rest of the suspension stock. Do you have any long-term updates? How do they feel after how many miles, any strange noises, etc.

I am looking at the Ford Racing set specifically, but would like to hear from anyone that has any mfr.of springs as long as the rest is OE.

No bad results, but I sure noticed a big difference when i put the suspension on.

I was looking into Roush rear springs only to lower the rear 3/4".
I was not planning on replacing the OEM rear shocks until they
need it with the Roush rear shocks. We will see.

You want to be careful about lowering the springs and leaving the shocks stock. As you've reduced the operating throw of the suspension you need increased shock rates to avoid hitting the bump stops.

LOL! If I didn't hit the bump stops, i'd only have 1 inch of suspension travel.
