I got some Roush springs from my uncle for free. In the box they also included free bushings all around. Do i need to get new struts/shocks when i install them? i have found alot of them that say there specially for the V6, but the BBB says that most are designed for the v8's. so do i need to change them out? thanks

You might as well change them out now, if you dont youll just blow your stock ones out in a couple months... and since you got them "for free" why not

Its actually a guesstimate cuz I dont know what the stock ride height should be. I think its actually lower. And as for the ride, really stiff isnt even the half of it, its more like rattle the teeth outta your head stiff. But it corners like no other. No I dont take pics really, the only pics Ive taken of cars are the ones I smashed. Ill see if I can dig some out.

I got a deal on the Eibach Pro-kit. I was just going to do springs right now because I was going to get them put in for free. But my cousin's shops who ordered them for me only works on Evos and WRXs and the mechanic didn't feel comfortable working on my car for the first time. So now I am saving up for S/S because I don't want to pay TWO labor charges and pay for TWO alignments. So I say if you plan on doing S/S later (which like Jimmz said you will NEED to anyway) I say save up and do it all at once unless you get hooked up.
