Does anyone have a picture of there car with these spings on it? Kinda iffy about getting these I'm not sure there going to be what I'm looking for. (low enough) but i like that price. . But I'm going to change them out with some H&R's next year, just to keep my exhaust from scraping speedbumps.
Doesn't the H&R's sit lower the the roush do??

I think the Roush springs on my car settled alot more than the pic shows. The top of my rear tire is tucked in about 1/4 in. While the H&R's leave the rear a little high. Here is my car the day after it was lowered, like I said, it's lower now. [img] http://image1.villagephotos.com/pubimage.asp?id_=319238&uid=22471[/img] After all said and done, I think the front dropped 1 1/2 and the rear about 1 3/4. I can't find my before measurements to remeasure so I am not sure.

Just so I have this straight: These springs can be used w/ stock (non-SVT) struts? That will save me a lot of money, but is there any handling improvement over stock (non-SVT) springs?
Also, does anyone have any pictures of their car after the springs have settled? Thanks.

CRZYDRVR, Thanks. They are ADR Trauma's. I ordered them from Whalen tire. It's teh same that Xtreamly Lucky is running, but in 17, and I don't have the center caps on them. I'll pop off a pic in the morning after work of the car so all can see the diffence in height. Page two...

There are a lot of people that said these springs were a lot better than stock. Most claimed less body roll, and no raising of the front end when they accelerated from a stop.

hello ceg people
I am a cougar owner and put these on a year ago
they are just like eibachs but stiffer/harsher
They do drop about 1.2 all around once settled
Roush springs are usable with stock struts on our cars just like eibachs are, yet they are wound differently
I havent upgraded my struts yet, and over little dips and bumps the ride is very harsh.
either way, way better than stock.
