Default Roush Springs

I have a 2005 V6 with stock suspension and I am looking to put on ONLYthe rear roush springs before I put on my new 18in Razors. I was wondering what else I need to install to lower this car properly. I have heard that LCAs and an adj panhard bar are adviseable. Also since I have a V6, I have heard that I will need to get a rear sway bar. Any opinions/other suggestions for what I should do? I have heard from individual people on this subject but was just looking to hear others. Along with any suggestions, a place to but it would be nice.

I have just the rear Roush springs right now, and since it's such a mild drop, there is no need for the LCA or panhard bar. If it's offset any, it's so small that it's not noticable. If you drop the whole car lower, then the full suspsension workup is needed.

I drove my GT for about 18 months with only the Roush rear springs installed with no issues.

You can just put in the Roush springs and be FINE. But most people on here will try and tell you to get other things done as welllike UCAs, LCAs, shocks, struts, etc... . It just depends on what you want and like and $$.

Yea I know you can do this but since I am getting the springs I figured I might as well get some of the other stuff out of the way if they will be necessary eventually. For example I could just ride around on the roush rear springs and the stock shocks but those new springs will wear out those stock shocks so I might as well at least get the roush rear shocks because I will need them eventually.

Well I am looking to lower the car the right way if that makes sense I mean I'm not trying to spend a lot of money on this but I want to do what seems necessary. I have heard that the roush rear springs will wear out the stock shocks. I have the stock V6 suspension so I should get at least a rear sway bar but I have heard that a GT take rear sway bar and a V6 front sway bar would not mesh well.

I guess. Not sure on that route. I think the ride change might be a little more than you like between the front and rear.
I guess It all really depends on your plans for the future, and how close that future is.
