I have a 2006 Southern California Special (V6). I would like to level the stance of the car. This would require lowering the rear of the car only by about 5/8".
(I don't want to do a front/rear lowering, just the rear only).
Any suggestions?

PIck up a set of Roush rear springs to even the stance.

Thanks for the info guys.
I have 2 other questions.
Does the same Roush rear spring fit both V6 and V8?
and
How did it change the ride and handling?

much improved - but I added a takeoff GT rear stabilizer that accounts for more improvment than the springs.

GET YOURSELF ONE! they're cheap ...

Thanks.
My SCS came with a GT rear stablizer option. So the springs should just fine!
