Talking Craigslist FTW %INSTALLED W/ PICS%

Picked up some used Roush Front lowering springs in Plant City Fl for 20$. I'll tell you what though, I am so happy. This is my cheapest mod and will look great once on the car with some new struts. Tell me what ya think.

Honestly it took me about 1 hr of total work. It lowered the front 3/4" instantly but I'm guessing it will settle around 1". I have never lowered a car before so it was a learning process. I followed Taco Bill's write up and it was a piece of cake. Rented a spring compressor from Autozone for 50$ and got my money back when I returned it. All in all i think for only 20$ for the springs I am VERY impressed.
Here is the before and after shots:


After:


Before: 28 1/4"


After 27 1/2"


And finally a look at the stockers vs the Roush:

No they didnt have the rears but they did have some Roush Mufflers for 50$. I am just gonna keep searching until I can get the rears. These things are like 150 new so I am quite pleased.

I dont think I will be able to find another pair this cheap....but thanks for the offer lol. U know I told my girl on the way home " I could probably get 75$ for these" lol crazy. I would do it but then I would have to go and spend the 225 to get the pro kit.
