Default Well I pulled the trigger!

So I have been looking at a set of springs for a while. Im very very picky when it comes to the stance of my cars. I believe that height/wheels on a car make or break the overall look. I decided to try the Roush springs http://store.roushperformance.com/detail.aspx?ID=1007. I am not going with shocks/struts right now as If i want them later I can just throw them in. The install will be no problem so I dont mind doing it twice if im really unhappy with the ride. The springs should be here tomorrow. Ill post pics after the install.

Tell us what you think of the DS.

branman, how much of a drop with those springs?

EDIT: Nevermind, I missed your link! That's about the same drop as with the Steeda sports.

I had a set of the Roush springs on my car. I had the blue stage 2 springs, but the extreme springs are very similar. Since the rears are progressive, your rear will probably be very bouncy on rough roads until you upgrade your shocks. Not unbearable, just a little annoying...

Unless you don't remove the factory bump stops..then it won't bounce at all. it will be like driving around in a go-kart

Mine came with the same rear bumpstops, plus ones for the front. They are worth their weight in gold...
