Stress Bar Set or FRPP Suspenion
So I'm looking at getting either the FSWerks Stress bar set or the FRPP suspension for my car(2011 SE) which has a Roush SRI and autolight 103's. Just looking for some opinions and some reasoning behind the opinions. They're both about $350 shipped so the cost is not an issue.
Thanks in advance

suspension all the way. you get the visual improvement of a drop as well as the driving improvement of a stiffer, lower suspension. stress bars wont have anywhere near the same improvement

Yep, then swaybars, then stress bars when all other improvements have been made.

How much camber correction will I need with the FRPP kit? Will I need an aftermarket set of camber plates and bolts or will the stock set be ok? My car is just a daily driver for the next few years. I'll probably get the H+R Coilovers when the FRPP rolls on 50k.

The front will be adjustable enough if im not mistaken, your gunna need a rear adjustable arm. Ive seen them from 175 and up.

I didnt need anything on my 07 to set it right with the frpp kit. at worst youll need a set of camber bolts ($25) for the back.

So when the FRPP kit settles over the first couple of weeks does it settle to a 1.5" drop or it closer to 2"?

mine settled to about 1.25" front and close to 2" rear. It sat level and drove great. Its a great way to go

IMO you won't need a camber kit. I have a 2" drop and my the shop could still get me within proper alignment spec.
But like everyone else, definitely go with the suspension first. The only strut tower brace that made a noticeable difference for me was the Massive rear strut tower brace (although it's technically not a "true" strut tower).
