Stock height in the front was just over 28 inches from the ground to the center lip of the fender. Check it out...maybe that will help you determine.

If they're blue i think they're Roush like mine. You can see by the after and before pics how much it dropped. This is a 1.25" drop from stock.

Well when I got home I crawled underneath and both the front and back springs are blue not the stock black. I measured from the lip to the floor in the front I got 27.75" and the rear were 28.5". Taco Bill had a write that showed the front at about 28.625" and the rear about 29.875". so I am thinking this is about a 1.25" drop.
When I looked at the springs I did not see anything that would tell me what kind they are, The Rousch that I have seen on line have had there name on them, the Steeda"s that I have seen have not had any writing on there. I looked up the FRPP springs and they were the wrong color of blue. So by means of deduction I am going to say that I have the Stedda Ultra Lite Springs with about a 1" drop in the front and 1.25" drop in the rear.

They must have been the small outfit off of Arkansas Lane in Grand Prairie. It wasn't a very big shop. You're the first one I've heard about owning one of their customs. Lawler was much bigger.
