Looks good! Did you lower the front any? Is it level front and rear?

Looks good, I have heard with the Roush rear springs the rear tends to sag. Are you having that issue?

I left the front stock just did the rear springs, sways and panhard.

car has had the springs installed for 2 weeks now I have been driving it every day, has not sagged at all according to the tape measure .. It sits perfectly level with a full tank of fuel

I will say if anyone does install these cut your rear bump stops down 1" or buy 1" shorter ones or you WILL bottom out on them I checked clearance before driving it and there is no way it wouldn't hit on a good bump without shortening ... car rides good still, handles much much better love the improvement .. tires are ordered and will be on in a couple weeks
