S197 Mustang Ford Racing Performance Parts Suspension Install Removing The Factory Spring
Once the shocks are removed, you can remove the springs. Give them a tug and they'll come out easily.

S197 Mustang Ford Racing Performance Parts Suspension Install Rear Springs
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 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.

S197 Mustang Ford Racing Performance Parts Suspension Install Rear Sway Bars
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.

S197 Mustang Ford Racing Performance Parts Suspension Install Sway Bar Mounts
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.

S197 Mustang Ford Racing Performance Parts Suspension Install Installing The Mounts
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.

S197 Mustang Ford Racing Performance Parts Suspension Install Installing The Rear Sway Bar
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.

S197 Mustang Ford Racing Performance Parts Suspension Install On The Street
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.
