How does the FRPP kit effect the ride quality?I know what I want is like asking for a unicorn I know but I'm looking for it to be lowered for better handling but I don't want it to be super stiff when I hit pot holes bumps in the road.

Do some searching around, it will stiffen up the ride a bit, but it also prevents the suspension from easily bottoming out (if you know what I mean, I've done it like 10 times already) but it isn't no creampuff ride either.

There is a thread/poll on this subject somewhere. But i can summarize it for you. The frpp is as compliant over bumps as stock. It is mainly a looks set up getting a 1.5" drop. The performance comes from tge uprated dampers

FRPP is the best compromise between stiffness and comfort. It handles way better, sits about 1.5 inches lower, and still absorbs bumps well. Any suspension will bottom out. It removed all the boaty-ness and a lot of body roll from my sedan that does not have a rear sway bar. End of discussion, close the thread

Just wanted to ring in: (Finally) Installed my kit last weekend. It's awesome, no loss in driveability with a noticeable increase in handling. Feels a lot flatter in turns and does not plow as much even though my tires are close to the end of their life economy Kumho's. Car feels a lot more stable even in just normal driving. I had pretty grounded expectations for this upgrade and I'm very happy with it.

OK so this kit fits the 4dr sedan as well right?
My 09 sedan sucks around corners and the body sway in the corners on the highway is flat out dangerous... |
