Default Roush Suspension Upgrade

I own an 06'Roush Stage 1 and I am looking into getting the Roush Suspension Package to make mine a Stage 2. But I first wanted to find out if anyone can tell me how much, if at all, this package will affect my ride quality? Also are there any other suspension upgrades I should consider along with the Roush Suspension Package and if so how much will they affect my ride quality as well? I have to consider ride quality because my car is a daily driver and I go to school in Atlanta and the roads can be pretty ****ty. I am only looking at the Roush package because I want to keep my car as much of a Roush as I can. Thanks for the help. [/align]

It shouldn't affect your ride quality all that much. The springs are 35% stiffer than stock and will lower your car 3/4-1". The front springs are almost identical to Steeda Sport springs. The sway bars will not affect ride quality, only cornering stiffness. You MAY want an adjustable panhard rod, but it likely won't be needed. However, since you're looking into suspension I highly recommend getting rid of those crappy stock LCA's if you haven't already. They will make world of difference in the feel and quality of the launch. I happen to like the Roush package, although it is quite expensive, it will make your car look and handle much better.

Thanks man.Are the rear and front stabilizer bars the same as sway bars? Also are the Roush Billet Lower Trailing Arms the same as LCA's? If so do you know anything about their quality?

I added the Roush suspension package to mine and didnt notice that much of change in the ride quality. Launches and curves are a lot more fun though. I got mine at the jobber detail price (1100) so if you think thats a good price let me know and I'll give you the guys number. He is in Michigan and had both boxes shipped to me (in Europe mind you) in 10 days.
