Is $100 for roush springs with 4k miles a good deal? i think it is, just wanna know what ya'll think. Any install tips, I'm gonna be using svt struts.

hey Kermit....
Normally, I would say no, since I bought mine new for $120, but since they can't be had new any more, I say yes. Good deal, great springs, excellent ride. Go for it man. I haven't had one person (who knows anything about cars) get into my car after noticing that it's lowered, not comment on how nice my car rides.

I'm gonna get them. How much do alignments normally cost? And how long can I drive w/o alignment before tires really start to wear unevenly? I'll probably do install on weekend and have to wait till week to get aligned.

You should be fine, unless you completely remove the outter tie rod end, which you do not have to do. The springs will not lower the car so much that it will kill you to wait a week.
Glad to hear that you are finally able to get some springs dude! I am happy for ya!

I never got around to getting mine aligned. After almost 4 months, I have no bad tire wear at all.

Yes, they are lower than roush... but how do they perform? Seems that no one really has tried them out yet. Plus, when you start to get that big of a drop, you will need caster adjustment plates...
I looked for a while for Roush springs, but they are tough to find. Sometimes I see them in the for sale section on the NECO forums.
