Default Pic Request AND a Lowering Spring Question

Ok, right now i am running roush rear springs only and i wanna bring the front down some. I am looking for pic requests of a full roush suspension on a GT. Not on a Roush. My driveway has some angle to it so i need a conservative drop.

My question is this, is it a bad idea to mix springs? I have seen several times where someon will run a differant brand of spring on the front then what they are running in the rear. Is that a good idea?

I don't think so, as long as the toughness between the 2 sets isn't too different...

thanks! another question, if i run 20s will the roush springs be enough of a drop to not look silly? I can get the FRPP springs, set of 4, for $10 more than the Roush fronts. Only concern is scraping my driveway, may have to build a ramp.

The rim diameter has little to do with filling up the fender gap.
Its the size of TIRE you plan on putting on those 20s as to if
it will look funny.

Definitely. And if you're worried about looking funny, go with a larger sidewall. It'll fill the gap and give you a little height.
