Default Got the new wheels put on...now I need new springs

I got the wheels mounted on the car...and I am having a hard time adjusting. I am not really sure what seems to be the issue....I am wondering if it is the way the car sits now. I am thinking a new set of Eibach Pro-kit springs will help. The rear end is squatted down too much, the front not enough. I have roush springs on the rear only....I have to change this. Sorry for the quickie shot, I was kinda in a hurry.

Just put a Pro-kit set on mine. Love the new stance and the ride is not bad. It rides like its on rails through the mtns.

Wheels look nice. I'm almost in the same dilemma. I was thinking of just putting Roush springs in the rear. How do you like the feel? I wasn't planning on doing the front since I have that chin spoiler.

Lol, yes. The pink calipers are old news. I have had them for a while now.

Thanks Greg. Yes, That is what it looks like on guesstimation. I think a new set of springs all the way around is what is needed.....would you agree?

I am going to be honest....these goodyears don't hold a candle to the Nitto Invos I had on the car. I will run these for now, but the replacements won't be the supercar tires. I could already feel the back end is much looser with these! When I replace the springs, would you be interested in my rear springs? They are Roush....

I think it looks good. But something is alittle off. I have the Steeda Sport lowering springs and love them!! had to also get new shocks and struts to get the stance I wanted.

I am thinking some suspension work is in order. I agree, something's not quite right with this setup.

I have Roush front and rear, and I like the way mine sits. However, some styles of rims look much better on a slammed car. (FR500's or CTR's for instance) Your rims would look great with Roush front.
