Default Roush rear springs? Any other mods necessary. Shock/strut questions too

Hey guys, I remember reading a while ago that there were roush springs available for the rear only of the mustang that will only drop it about an inch.

I'm mainly concerned with just the appearance of the stock "squat", and thats about it.

I've also heard though that lowering the vehicle can put some stress on some other parts and change the dynamics of the suspension.

If I order these springs, which only lower the rear about an inch or so, will I be alright with an otherwise stock setup?

In the future I would also like to swap out the shocks/struts all the way around. Are there any sets out there that I should consider that put the main emphasis on ride quality before performance? Obviously I am looking for a performance increase, but ride quality is paramount here.

Thanks guys,
Scott

Yea I just changed out the rear springs only and it leveled it out nicely. You shouldn't run into a problem unless you have unusual tire sizes on the rear.

I ordered the Roush rears yesterday. I just got my BMR billet LCA's in the mail, so I figure with any kind of drop, I'll need relocation brackets, too. Those are on the way as well

Aside from relos for the LCA's, no other suspension mods.
