Roush Extreme Springs...
Anybody running the Roush Extreme Lowering Springs? Pics and comments about these appreciated! Too many choices... Is there a suspension thread with pics of different set-ups?

I don't run them a friend does but I had a chance to check the spring rate on the Roush track pack springs. They run on the coil over setup with I think KW adjustable shocks. The fronts are right around 425 lbs springs and the rears are 375 lbs springs. Pretty stiff compared to the common spring you see sold but still lighter than the springs used on the road race cars.

I'd be glad to help recommend a set of Steeda springs for your purposes.

It's mostly a weekend car, I would like to autoX in the future, possibly track at mid-ohio. My main priority now is to get rid of the fender gap. I have read that the Brembo package cars have different suspension components, not sure if this is true... I would like a 1in front and 1.5in rear drop, however I do want to gain handling performance as well.

When you're autocrossing, running on a track, or just driving on the street, the only time you'll think about "fender gap" is when there isn't enough of it and you get tire rub.

Don't be too picky about the precise amounts lowered, or else you could end up being a little dissatisfied. Advertised amounts lowered are only approximate.

yes, the brembo suspension is different.
