Gt500 OEM Track pack shocks/ struts VS. FRPP shocks struts.

[Davidx9x]

Any thoughts? My car is a DD and want to upgrade my suspension. I was told the GT500 track pack shocks and struts were great; then again others 100% disagreed. Next i was told FRPP suspension was a great upgrade. How much stiffer of a ride? Any input will be appreciated. Thanks!

What car do you have? What are your goals? Just want to lower it, autocross, drag racing? Do you have a budget?

For a daily driver with good dampening and ride characteristics I like Koni. The Str.T's are excellent for daily drivers. If you want more adjustability then the Koni Yellows are even better. I had the FRPP before and for what they cost you would get better performance from another brand. I believe FRPP are made by I think tokico. Not sure though.

I have an 08 GT. I am lowered on ksprings. My car is a daily driver, but my suspension has just gotten very sloppy

I would also look into replacing the strut mounts in the front as well.

I have k springs and FRPP's on my '06 and find it a perfectly acceptable daily. I would want stiffer if it saw any real competition use. Were I buying new, I'd have gone Koni STR's, but I had the springs laying around and got the FRPP's for cheap used, so it was a lo-buck improvement rather than an optimized setup.

Then I second 05 and would suggest looking into the Koni's

Yes, i def have to look into front strut mounts. I'm still using my stock ones.

Also I would recommend something adjustable in a strut mount. I have the steeda hd strut mounts and am very pleased. No clunking, no nvh but it gives you or a degree of adjustment.

I have Konis but I've heard good things about the billsteins.

I have Koni Str.t's and BMR springs and the ride is awesome. The ride is a little rough but i still like it cause thats how its suppose to ride...takes corners just right and launches from a stop perfect....I've only driven a GT500 PP once and it rode okay...but I think it should ride a lil sport car like
