We try not to use justified setting so the following won't help there
but:

. Setting the minimum/maximum/optimum wordspace values in the Advanced
pane of the Para Designer to all be the same can help.

. I have found the behaviour of kerning to be hard to predict in Frame.
Sometimes switching pair-kerning off (I believe it's on by default) can
help regularise spacing. Monospaced fonts shouldn't have any pair-kern
information, of course.
