No experience with the frpp, but I love my Koni's. Mine is a daily driver and I have no problems/issues to speak of. I'm running them with Steeda sport springs. Ride is great, and the roads around here are, let's just say, less than perfect. Hope that helps:thumb:

Koni str.t's with Streeda sports here as well. Ride is a bit firmer than stock but nowhere near uncomfortable. Handling is much improved and I don't regret getting them. They come with a lifetime warranty to the original buyer so that is a plus.

Koni's sounding good. Just need for some people to feedback on the FRPP too. Does anybody even run the FRPP M-18000-A. Sure there is plenty and with K's + GT500 mounts on the coyote.
I know some things are different on prem. Brembo package susp. wise VS. the base model.Anybody know the exacts on that? Thanks fellows.Need the feedback.

I ran the FRPP "P" Springs with Koni STR.Ts for approximately 15,000 miles. I just recently switched to Steeda Sport Springs and Koni Sports. The ride is slightly less harsh....not significantly less, but you can tell a small difference.

I'm really surprised you haven't been told to search. There is a ton of info here on them.

This^^ you can read about both for hours on here just from searching the two names.
Man I have been reading for days.LOL. A very large amount of the threads, are old threads, like 2010 and 11 and so much more has been learned from trial and error and what not. Still not sure of the true differences in prem. brembo packages over the base gt. I hope somebody who has lowered a 2012gt prem. brembo car correctly will chime in.I think throwing springs in there and it feeling fine is not the case in 20,000 miles.Just looking hard facts.Whats needed to do it right the first time.

Another vote for Koni. I have them with the Vogtland standard lowering springs and am pleased with the ride. People always comment on how surprised they are that it rides as well as it does. But, it will still beat you to death on a really bad road. FWIW I've been told the FRPP ones are a bit harsh on the street.

FRPP dampers and springs are really rough IMO.

Koni STR.T with sportlines. Rides 100 times better than stock + K springs.

I had the Steeda Sports and swapped them out for the Sportlines on the STR.T's

I kind of regret it as since it is such a soft spring on a soft shock the car bounces a little too much for me now.
