 Once the shocks are removed,...  Once the shocks are removed, you can remove the springs. Give them a tug and they'll come out easily.  As was the case with the front...  As was the case with the front springs, the rear lowering springs (left) are shorter than the factory springs (right). The springs will lower the rear of the car 1-1/2 inches while keeping the ride smooth.  Installing the lowering springs...  Installing the lowering springs is just as easy as taking out the factory ones. They are not side specific, so all you have to do is pick a spring and slide it in. Make sure the spring sits flush in the cups.  Once the rear springs are...  Once the rear springs are in, you can install the rear shocks from the bottom and in the reverse order as to how you took them out.  As with the front sway bar,...  As with the front sway bar, the rear sway bar is a beefier unit than the stock one. There are no adjustments for the rear sway bar, though, making the rear sway bar installation a simple bolt-in procedure.  The other neat thing about...  The other neat thing about the rear sway bar are the sway bar mounts made by Eibach. These mounts replace the factory ones, which if you recollect, needed to be reused when the new front sway bar was installed.  Before installing the sway...  Before installing the sway bar, grease all of the sway bar bushings and put them on. Then, lift the bar up to the rear and bolt it in. There is one note to remember, however. While FRPP supplies all of the hardware needed to mount the sway bar, we noticed that the factory sway bar bolts were thicker than those supplied with the kit.  Winter wanted to reuse the...  Winter wanted to reuse the factory bolts, so we had to slightly drill open the sway bar mount holes to fit the larger bolts. Once the bar was in, Knell hit the bushings with the grease gun and then bolted the wheels back on.  With FRPP's Handling Pack...  With FRPP's Handling Pack on Project MILF, we expect the handling characteristics to be more predictable and controllable on the road course. Also, as you can see in this photo, the car is noticeably lower and the gap between the top of the tire and the fenderwell has been significantly reduced. While we didn't have time to let Project MILF rip on Raceway Park's road course, we were able to get in some burnout time. Guess we'll need some new wheels and tires soon.
