There are quite a few who run just the Roush rears including myself. After installing them an adjustable panhard was needed (mainly for cosmetic purposes) as the axle shifted about 3/4in towards the drivers side.
You can run them with the stock shocks/struts, but that will additional stress and they will more than likely wear out quicker.
For a point of reference, here's how mine looks with just the rears installed. Total drop was just shy of 1 in.

I think the combination of having the Roush rear springs along with stock fronts with a supercharger (which adds a slight front drop) helps with achieving what I think is ideal wheel well gaps.

Agree with the post recommending alignment and camber bolts. There are other ways to adjust the camber but they are more expensive. I installed Eibach Pro-Kits on mine (without a front end alignment) and the front tires wore out due to excess toe-out from the drop. There have been a lot of posts on this topic and I don't think there is broad consensus on the adjustable panhard bar. I still have the stock one and I haven't noted any handling or wear problems with street driving.

I spent $600 and purchased what Tokico markets as "The Advanced Handling Package, it consists of 4 lowering springs and 4 Tokico "Blue" HP struts, and I couldn't be happier. It drops the car just right in my opinion, and I didn't need any special camber bolts etc. My buddy that aligned it said it was right on the edge of adjustability, meaning any lower would have needed camber bolts...

springs,ALIGNMENT, Camber bolts, those three are a for sure no matter what! you can go awhile with out a panhard bar ive been lowered for months and just ordered my adj panhard itll be here next monday! but Stuff that can wait would be the shocks and struts and the panhard. Get a alignment or your front tires will be gone in 10k miles i didnt and trust me just get it aligned! Camber bolts are $20 and give you +2 deg. and -2 deg of camber! Shope the classifieds on forums if your on a budget i got my springs for $130 shipped ! Just be on the look out!
