When you get a minute can you post a couple of pictures. I am considering the Roush Springs myself.

Thanks

Roush states that 3/4 rear and 1 inch front is what you
should see. If springs settle in a few weeks, what makes
them stop settling? Seems like what you see is what you
get. [:@]

that may be all he gets out of the roush springs; idk. i believe roush is one of the slightest drops. but "what you see is what you get" immediately after install is incorrect. i know for a fact, my car is indisputably lower now than it was when the pro kit was first installed two weeks ago.
