Default roush advice

would it be okay just to lower the back with roush springs and shocks. The front I would leave stock. I am doing this for looks, but I do not want the car to drive all crazzy.

I think you will end up looking a bit like the Stangs of yester-year (see '64.5~'67 models) I also think it would be a mistake to have an un-balanced spring rate between front and rear-ends. Is the front too low for your taste right now?

If you are running a New Edge, will be happy to sell you my Griggs Racing adj. Koni coil over set-up I just removed (front-end only). This will give you 100% adjustablity in ride hight as well as nice comfort range for dampner and wonderful handling

I had rear Roush springs in the back with stock shocks for a year with no problems just driving around town. Very common BTW in other forums but not preferred. Car looked great and lowered the rear about 1 inch. I have since added them to the front with Koni Sports all around.

Hello, we also offer a rear lowering spring for your mustang. It will lower your 1.5" but they retain a very good ride quality. If you have any questions give me a call.
