Default Roush rear spring installed, Perfect!

Just installed the Roush rear springs and all I can say is it is perfect to me. Completely levels out the car. Sorry for the dark picks it got dark outside so pics are from in my garage. Let me know what you think. Drop + 3/4-1" (right in between).

looks great. update us after driving it a while with some 'post installation' info about how it rides if you don't mind (i've been considering doing this)

Yea. I'd be interested in the ride difference also. I wanted to lower mine in the rear slightly also and this looks like good solution.

Looks great! I just put the Roush rear springs on mine a few weeks ago. In regards to ride difference, I didn't really notice anything. It seems to ride just as nice as it had did when I had the factory springs.

5SPD07GT.....any other pro's/con's you've experienced by doing that? I've been wanting to lightly lower mine and considering this option.

that was the next question i was going to ask :P there is no need for other alignment parts for when just the rear is lowered? (didn't know if it was the same for everyone who has done this, or if you just got lucky 5SPD07GT)?
