Default Pics with new Roush Springs installed

I Installed the new Roush Springs to drop the rear 3/4" (Thanks for the help from members here) I like the look now the car sets and looks so much better. It drives better into the turns now too. not as much body roll. Thanks for the Help and the advice on the Roush Springs I Like them a lot. Oh and the New Rims and Tires I got.

It was Easy it only took about 30 mins to do it but I had some down time to to go down 2 houses to a friends house to get his torque wrench. it took about as much time to jack the car up put in the stands and take off the wheels as it did to install the springs. I just disconnected the brake line hold down from the body (1 Screw) then with the jack under the center of the rear end slight psi on it I took out the bolt to the bottom of the shock droped the rear end down a little pushed the ax down a small bit on that side and pulled the spring out. did each side one at a time it was easy.

This is the link to the how to I Googled to find out how to do it.

The drop looks very good. Just wondering why you chose to do the rear only? Your car does look level, however I wonder how two different types of springs would effect handling?

Looks good though, and thanks for the link to that how-to!

Rear only because I just wanted to Level the car out I did not want to drop the front any more because I live in Ohio and Winter is the reason. (I need an other car for winter) But this is my DD for now As far as handling It just made it better. I am going to put some Roush Shocks on the rear soon too. Then a rear Sway bar.
Thanks AmericanICON love that name

If it effects handling, its for the better.

No rear sway? I would have put a rear sway under there first,
then springs, then shocks if you could notafford to do it all at once.
And the poly sway bar bushings all around are a must as well as on
the panhard bar. They are so cheap, its a no brainer.

Hay thanks 157db for the help with the Springs
So you think I should do the sway bar first then the shocks. I will do that then. Thanks again I love the springs
