How's the clearance over speed bumps? I have the factory Z0K package on my Solstice which lowers the car 1.5 inches and I have to be very, very careful over speed bumps and there is even one road I have to avoid totally because I can't clear the speed bumps on it.

Who's got it for $220?

the kit lowers 12-15 mm front and 22-28 mm rear so speed humps are not an issue. I went over some the other day with no problem and my Fiesta has 205/45-16 tires that also lower it a bit compared to the stock 195/50-16 tires.

I am shockled at how cheap the parts are for this car!

You could throw a whole mess of parts on it and spend less than $1000! Sheesh.

The suspension is cheap, but the exhaust and short throw shifter are a little on the pricey side. Perhaps I got used to buying ZX3 parts a decade ago, but prices seem kind of steep for most of the FRPP stuff. It is however cheap compared to race suspension parts for my Mustang. You can get the entire handling pack for the price of a single Bilstein.

my Ford Racing Handling kit being installed as we speak...have to say $220 from by buddy FORDSVTPARTS, still blows my mind for the value, 4 springs AND dampers for $220 is CHEAPER than most are charging just for their Spring package....oh, and the shifter is WELL worth it...next up 17 inch wheels and tire i think...then cat back.......

Whats the cost of getting it installed? I'm assuming it's about 2hrs of labor at most.
