Roush springs all around. I did change to d-specs, but will admit i probably didn't have to.

They are possibly one of the simplest mods to install. Takes more time to jack up car.

Write up would be nice. I have jacks so that's a start. Wouldn't know what to do next though. Never worked much on the suspension. On any car.

Jack did you plumb bob it before and after? Just curious as to the drop it actually provided for you...would you guess more then 1/2 inch? I really am on the fence for reasons you already know.....sorry OP OT

No I didn't. I just eye-balled it when it was done. Looks about even to me. It dropped about 1.25" I believe.

I did the rear drop with the Rosh matching shocks as well.
Yea.

Roush rears only as well along with keeping stock shocks/struts (for now)... no issues yet, but I did need to install an adjustable panhard bar like many others here as the rear shifted ~ 1/2in. Total drop was a little less than an inch.

I love the drop of the Roush rear springs, I netted about 1 1/8" drop on each side and had no rear end shifting problem

Seems I am the minority here, but the stock shocks do not work well with the Roush rear springs. The damping is not correct with the change in stroke and it will bottom out on me if not careful too. I have been meaning to get new rear shocks, just haven't yet.
