no, its their house brand, labeled to make you think they are SVO/SVT. looking at the arms i'd assume they are the same as the summit brand arms that used to sell for $99 for the whole set. I had them on 2 different cars and had no issues besides the normal, noise/vibration from harder bushings.

I did get the feeling while talking to the sales guy there that the SVE drop springs were not worth buying

SVE is our house brand. Right now we have wheels, springs, brakes, control arms and we just released a new shifter. I installed the shifter in my car and I'm writing a blog about it that will be posted on our website. The lowering springs gives you a similar ride quality that your stock springs provide they just lower the car about 1.5-2 inches. The control arms have been a great seller. While being a budget control arm they are a lot better than stock but not quite as good their more expensive counterparts.

Yes SVE is their house brand, nothing to do with FRPP but I hear the stuff is pretty quality.

Oh, ok, ya'll could've tricked me. I just noticed that some of the parts resembled past FRPP parts, but maybe it's just me.

Ford had a division called Special Vehicle Engineering I believe they were part of the Super Stallion project. Our SVE stands for Special Vehicle Equipment.

thanks for the info. i put my 3.73's in today and my next upgrade was going to be the control arm kit. sadly after a 5 minute drive a vibration was bothering me. went back to the house and my front 18 inch bullet has a spoke cracked in half.

that blows.

It blows harder than a Thai hooker.

Since you work for LRS, I have a question for you. I was planning to get a set of the SVE weight jackers for my car, then stumbled across a guy on another forum selling a pair of Granatelli weight jackers used. They bear a striking resemblance to the SVE arms. Are the SVE rebranded Granatelli?
