Default roush rear springs

I want to order me up a set of the roush rear springs and want to know if they only make the one that lowers the rear 1" . I thought I had seen on here that it lowered the car 3/4 inch . I know 1/4 is not much but just wanted to make sure that this is the same springs everybody else has .. Looks like year one has the best deals ..anybody dealt with them ?? Thanks

If you really want it level, go with the eibach pro-kit rears only. the roush will still sit kind of high in the rear. I had both and the eibachs are perfectly level. another thing, if in the future you decide you want the front lowered, you have the matching front eibachs springs. the rear roush springs are 140 ish and the eibachs from tire rack are 210.00 -219.00.

I put the Roush rear springs on and by my measurments it is perfectly level. I don't want to lower the front.

I too have the Roush rear springs but haven't put them on yet so I can't say if it is level.

Hey Sandyman,
I see you have the Cali dream hood. How do you like it? did you get it painted to match your car or did you get the entire car painted?

looks great by the way.

I have roush front and rear, the whole thing looks level to me. I did the kit from roush, and LCA's, Panhard bar and Brace, and Upper Control arm from Steeda

Is it necessary to get an alignment after changing the rear springs?

I've heard it's extremely easy to change out the rear springs. What kind of tools does it require?? I've never done springs before.

Put the car on jack stands, put the jack under the axle, unhook the sway bar, remove lower shock bolt, lower axle, remove spring...some also removed the rear abs wire, but you can leave it, just be careful and lower the rear axle the minimum to get the spring out.
Rachet, SAE sockets, maybe SAE wrenches...
