ok a few updates here

Put my new Roush springs on Friday. got another 3/8 inch in the front before any seteling, I am super happy with the look, but what has really amazed me is the feel of these springs compared to the prokit I took off, Roush FTW (at at 109 shipped brand new thats a good deal.) AND its like learning all over where I can and can't drive my car,

Also while doing the springs I decided to put some brakes in the front. I put autozones new Duralast Gold CMAX pads on to give them a try. they are a bit more that regular pads at $64 a set but so far they are really good pads, though they haven't been on but a few days. I'll let you guys know later if they are worth the price if any one is interested.

In other news exhaust is still sitting around waiting on tuner and other small installation parts since I'm goin best quality with every thing I buy. This has also left me time to think, tell me what you guys think. I have realized that the mufflers I have now are 2.25 and the new exhaust will be a full 2.5 system should I go with a full catback? I'm thinking about this for several reasons will this help with the loss of back pressure going to O/R and 2.5 compared to a O/R 2.5 with dump setup. and the second part is sound quality it is my belief that I will get a better tone with the Catback due to the added pipe but I'm not too sure of how quite it will get I don't want quiet. if not anyo this should i just make some adapters and keep my 2.25 mufflers will this help some with the back pressure?


and on to round two.....

I'm not saying but Im just saying would it be ok to put a blower cam in a n/a car until it is blown?

I put the $100 Roush springs on mine last monday, along with Steeda X2 balljoints and bumpsteer kit, along with installing my 4-bolt CC plates. I must agree, those springs ride very smoothly and very well. They raised my car up a bit since I was running a truly custom setup, but I'm happy with it. They'll do fine for the next few weeks until I go to Coil-overs lol

my old springs are a prokit for a gt they still gave me ~3/4 inch in the rear and ~1.25 in the front with no isolators in the front they were used when i got them so i reshot them black but i havent decided if im putting them on the vert or not i may sell them for like 50 bucks if i do i will decide soon but yea the roush springs are really nice and they actually lifted the rear up a bit im hoping they settle out in the rear a bit my front rockers are 5.5 inches from the groud iirc ryan did the x2's drop the car any a buddy told me they lowered his abotu another .25 an inch will they take some of the negative chamber
