Default Roush rear springs

Has any one here ever installed only Roush rear springs? Does this even out the cars ride height?

Yes, there have been several people who have installed just the Roush rear springs including myself. It will lower the rear of the car about 3/4 to an inch. It is well worth it in my book as the car looks more level.

so does it give the whole car a more lowered stance?

i wouldn't say the whole car....it just
brings the back down a little, which decreases
the wheel well gap and makes that gap
more like the front

Do these springs require the adjustments via the adjustable panhard bar?

i have had my roush springs on for almost a year. pretty sure i didnt get an alignment an i've noticed no uneven wear. Levels the car out nicely, i am actually looking for some front springs now.

the axle may shift 1/4" toward the drivers
side. now, whether that brings the axle
closer or further away from dead center,
will depend on the position from the factory.

I am doing Roush rear's soon as well. I want to get rid of the wheel gap. I lowered my last car and it was too much of a compromise in street driving. I hated speed bumps and big inclines. I figure 3/4" in the rear wont affect overal ground clearance much.

I also have adj LCA's and Panhard that I am going to have a pro do the adjustments. I will post pics when it is done.
