Default RE: lowered rear

I have the rear of my car lowered with steeda springs and they dropped it about 1.25 inches. It evened out the rake of the car as the rear springs tend to be high and give the rear an angled upward look. I did not have any suspension work done yet but that is next andI don't think the rear was out of line after the drop like many have afterdoing that mod. The roush springs will look fine and if I remember correctly they drop it about an inch all around if you install the roush set. Don't have recent pics of my drop but others will chime in and post pics

Its not bad with the Roush rear only, I would like about 7/16 or so higher. Sometimes it sits perfect, but mostly the rear end looks slightly low. I've decided to not install the fronts just haven't gotten around to raising the back a bit yet. I'm trying to get a picture up but no matter how I resize it comes back with "filetoo large". I'll try to get one on here!

Default RE: lowered rear

Here are some pictures of my car with Roush Rear Springs and a panhard brace installed for axle accuracy...

You can see that the distance between fender wells and tires are equal front and rear...

No alignment worries, handles much better, looks that "KILL"...
