Question Lowering ? - Rear Springs Only?

Maybe it's me, but looking at my 08 GT from the side it appears the rear has more wheel opening gap than the front. Any of you installed rear springs only to make it more even? If so, what springs did you use? Were you able to buy rear springs only or did you have to buy a complete front / rear set? Any +/- ride or handling issues? Thanks.

you can get a pair of Roush rear
springs, many places sell them
online.

it brings the rear down and makes it
look more level

It's not just you. They do that because the stock springs have a lot of give, and on launch, the rear squats more. You'll notice FWD cars usually have more gap up front.

If you just want to lower the rear, definitely go with the Roush rear onlys. Cheap and levels it out perfectly. Here's what our '05 looked like after install (28" tire out back also, though)
