How does it make it lose traction????
you lose traction because you are taking out more coil and that loses you traction because you do not have as much coil to use when you want to hit it hard and get traction.

Well I have made up my mind and already bought the 1 1/2 all the way around. I think the front is 1.6 he said so the rear will still be a little higher. Thats a really nice drop, roushe360R. How far is that? I also invested in a Steeda Timing Adjuster, and a Pro 5.0 short throw. All to be installed on the 28 of this month!

The Roush springs lower the car 1.5" in front and .8" in the rear.

The word "need" really doesn't make sense. It is what you prefer. The reason why the Roush setup doesn't drop the rear as much as the front, is to allow for a Roush side exhaust setup, subframe connectors, etc. You want a slammed look all around, then you have to worry about those type of mods. I prefer it looks wise also, because the ride height looks great, no too slammed and pimpy. Still keeps the muscle car appeal, w/ a nice suttle slope from front to back!

In my opinion it would make it look ghetto. Some people like that look, but not me. I would by the Roush springs if I were you. Everywhere I go and even at car shows, I get compliments on the ride height and people ask what springs I use.

I bought them w/ a complete suspension package. Go to www.roushperf.com. Click parts, etc. I can probably get you 15% off the web site price of $229.31, unless you are going to stick w/ the brand of spring you ordered from your guy.
