Default ROUSH REAR SPRINGS

Hi everyone I was looking into the roush rear springs I was wondering with this being installed will I really need a panhand bar or will it be fine with just the springs I just want to do the back because that look on the back being higher is making me nuts if anyone would let know I would appreciate it thank you.

It's possible that you may. Lowering the car could alter the geometry a bit which would require an adjustment. I needed one after putting on the 295/45-18 rear tires. I would install the springs and go from there. I noticed right away with the driver side rear sticking out a bit more.

If you get the springs, get the damn things all around... When I got my car they just put them in the back, and it didn't look right at all.... Everything else was awesome, but the stance was so weird..

look at how weird of a stance it had....

Beach, what rear springs are on that car? I know several members, including myself, who are running just roush rears who love the stance. They level the car out perfectly. I didnt need a panhard bar.

okay thats what i'm afraid of but I heard of other people puting them on and not having a problem like that wow. Also the reason why I do not want to do the front is I will probabaly put on a chin spoiler.

My vert sits a tad low in the back with the roush rears, its just the difference in rear weight between the coupe & vert. I think it still looks better than up high.

The dealer told me that the springs were Roush, but Ive got the prokit on it now. The car has changed a hell of a lot since that pic in 05.

I just installed Roush rears only on my ragtop last month and did notice enough of a change with the rear to add a panhard bar. I just did the panhard bar last weekend and think the drivers side out off by about 5/8in. Nothing too severe, but I do plan on adding wider tires and wheels so I figured I might as well just put the adj. panhard on while I was installing the CHE brackets and Steeda LCAs.

I don't have good pics yet as mine is holed up in the garage until some of this white stuff melts. But I do like the look as the cars sits a bit more level and the huge rear gap was dramatically reduced.

And for what its worth, the drop looks nothing like that of BeachBlv's yellow vert.

Get them and know that you may need an adj panhard bar if you have 20's on your car. Slight drop to level the rear of the car with the front. Do some measurements with a plumb BOB before doing the drop to avoid what Beach stated (dif between a convert and a coupe)
