Default Lowering 101.5 - Roush springs

Still thinking about lowering rear slightly on my 07 GT. I want something mild and that requires little else other than springs. Previous post recommendations said Roush but there were some who thought it wasn't enough drop to justify and some said i would need to replace oem shocks with Roush units.

Any current thoughts out there?

I had Roush springs installed front and back on my convertible. I would not want to go any lower. I don't think you have to switch out the stock shocks, but if you plan to, doing it with the springs will save time and money, especially if you are getting a professional to install.

My car has koni shocks and 285/40/18 back tires.

I will most likely be going with the Roush lowering springs for the front of my car.....I need only a tiny drop in the front.....and the 3/4" offered by their springs is what I am looking for.

On my old 05 Mustang GT, I had the Roush rear lowering springs and it leveled off the car just right. I had to get an adjustable rear panhard bar because it shifted about maybe 1/2 inch. All in all, the Roush was the way to go in my case and if you just want to level out the car, get the Roush. I didn't need to change out the shocks and it took me maybe 30 minutes to swap the springs.

i have the roush rear springs, have had them about a year. I didnt need ANYTHING else. No panhard bar, nothing. They didnt even require an alignment. Very happy with them, am about to do the roush fronts over the winter.

FYI ckone: Rear springs on the vert are harder to get to than on the coupe.

The front end should be the same.
