How would this combo work? I am looking for an improved ride and some drop on my 99 SE Sport.
What do you think? The price is pretty darn good.

Yes it will work. I ordered the Roush springs and ST200 struts.

maybe im wrong but i wonder about the longetivity of st24 or st200 struts with lowering springs...these are stock struts (on the european cars)....not aftermarket except to us...i thought stock struts would be worn out quicker byt the use of lowering springs
anyone???
i would love to have the st/roush setup at that price if its not a problem

The Roush springs are made to work with stock struts. I would say they will last a pretty long time. I will find out the first of the year, Im getting some too.

Yeah the Roush site says the Roush Cougar's upgraded suspension was comprised of the Roush Springs and Sway bar. Does not say anything about the struts and they don't sell any. I am hoping they go well as I am ordering it all tomorrow. One of my rear struts was leaking and Ford would only replace one of them under Premium Care ESP. I did not have the money to replace the other. I think my car rides lower now on one side compared to the other.  I am hoping to fix it all up with this setup at a reasonable price.

I just called and ordered my Roush Springs. They have about 36 sets left as of right now.
Since I am lucky enough to live in Michigan, I get charged 6 % sales tax. So it was $127 delivered for me. 
California has a sales tax too as they have facilities there.
I was going to pick them up from the warehouse but it was the same price anyway.

just got mine put on 2 weeks ago and if you are driving a stock 99 se you will love them. I didn't take measurements, but it lowered the car dramatically. I also put on some 16"svt rims at the same time so that helped appearenace too. I need to get the car aligned though as it randomly pulls left and right pretty hard sometimes. IT hasn't been a priority because I moved to NYC so I have only driven the car sparingly and I haven't found a place down there to do the alignment. For those of you who worry about the struts wearing out I say for 150 bucks, buy 2 sets now while you can. That is still as cheap 1 set of OEM struts. IF you end up not needing them, you can always sell them off to someone pretty easy in the classifieds
