I think what everyone is trying to say is...
If you want a better handling car go out and piece together "other" mfg parts and skip the "big name" guys.
I.E. BMR, Bilstein, Hotchkis etc... and find the good medium of what you want out of the suspension. Do not throw your money and the "commercial" guys.

Anyone want to "get rid" of their overpriced Roush rear springs.
My V6 sits a little high in the rear. I need a .50 to .75 of drop.
Any sellers or ideas of what rear springs to use for the needed
rear drop?
EDIT: got rear Roush springs and its oh so nice back there now.

Has anyone compared the ride of a Roush and Saleen equipped car?

I have. when I was looking for a new car, I was dead set on a Roush. Drove it for 3 days and then I rode in my friends 05 Saleen. Went to the dealership and within 20 min driving the Saleen IMO the ride was alot better. But again thats me, others will tell you different. Is there better? YES! But for $700 I really think it would be a good thing for you.

Rob,
Seems like a good deal for the parts you get. Maybe you could get a "better" (what ever that really means) however it'll definately be an upgrade over stock. the only thing I dont see that you might want to add are LCA reloaction brackets if those springs lower the car. the Saleen site doesnt say if they do.

From what I understand roush is better if handling is your thing. Saleen is better to live with. Heard people who track there cars and take it around circuits say the roush suspension is much better.

Saleens your paying for a popular name.
Roush your paying for a popular name AND high performance handling.

Uh Oh, UGM just offered me a killer deal on the Saleen suspension package, and they'll hand deliver it to me. Looks like I may have to bite. I'm getting de ja vu, this is how they got me my S/C.[sm=smiley2.gif]
