Regarding Roush rear springs
This question is for people with just Roush rear coil springs on their S197 GTs. I believe Fairlane292 has such a setup, if you're listening, could you chime in on this Fairlane?
I'm planning on installing a CDC Classic chin spoiler(in stain black) and adding a Rocky Mountain Graphics rear deck-lid panelvinyl blackout treatment. I want to lower the rear(sits much too high) but am leery of lowering the front because this is my daily driver and don't want the hassle of having to re-align the front-end and also making the car too low and ruining that chin spoiler on a curb/speed bump/etc.. So my question is, does the car sit parallel or is still slightly lower in the front after installing the rear Roush springs? I have the factory 18" polished Bullitts and BFG 235/50-18s.......Anyone with experience reading this? Thanks in advance.......

1/4" lower in the front after my install.
I actually turned down my headlights just a tad because it seemed to be too bright for others, ever since no more headlight flashes for me.

Thanks for info Stoenr, my GT is the same color as yours and to tell you the truth, I decided to replicate the way you car looks after seeing your avatar a few days ago.( rear blackout and CDC spoiler-but in black) Didn't know you run just the rear Roush springs as well, btw cool 'Stang!

I just had the rear deck painted today, no more magnetic overlay for me!
Last month I also added the slotted lens covers, but need to get better pics.

I say do it, you won't regret it and it looks great. If you want it to look even better get an adjustable panhard bar to recenter the rear end. I did...

I did rear only but in Eibach Pro Kit. I was planning on doing the front but after doing the rear the stance was perfect and I was thinking of doing the CDC agressive (which I did). I must tell you, I can't see touching the front suspension, unless you're really looking for that slammed look (like that of one done in Eibach Sportlines) ...I have nothing against that, I'm just more into ride quality (a reason I still run the 17 Pirellis) and less worry while running the chin spoiler. Hind sight, I would have gotten Roush rears cause I have a set of brand new front Eibachs sitting here.

I just put that setup on mine. It leveled out the car and improved the handling especially around corners. The car sits more level now but have not had any problems with my headlights.

Car looks great with those rear springs...
