Default Rear ROUSH Springs & Shocks ADDED A PIC

Got my rear end lowered by 3/4" and handling is a lot better.
Put Poly Track Bar and Sway Bar bushings in as well.
Took over 5 hours but I took my time and the bushings
needed to be pressed out of the Track Bar so I had to
make tools to do so. Tire rotation as well. VERY HAPPY
with the Roush rear set-up.

I just installed the Roush rear springs this weekend too. It was the same 3/4 drop measuredat the centerline of the wheels. It evens the car out nicely.One of the easiest jobs I ever did took about an hour.

Do you have the Tokicos on all 4 corners? One thing I don't like about just having the Roush springs in back is that the front seems to dive going into a turn. I would like to stiffen the front, but not necessarily drop it any. Suggestions?

Roush's are a good spring and leveled the car out nicely, especially with the stock suspension. But i went with different rims/tires and didn't like the gap so i switched to Eibach.

With the Roush rear springs, do you need to get an alignment or is since you don't change the front is it not needed? Do you need to adjust the rear side to side or use an adjustable UCA to change the pinion/DS angle?

Perhaps some GT500 springs? I too get some bobbing and weaving when driving(very) aggressively on slightly choppy roads/highways, and I too don't want to drop the front any further.
