Of course, the Roush rear springs get rid of that pesky rear wheel gap and levels the car out. If that's what you want, the front gap will be just a bit bigger than the rear.
I bought a set of H&R Sport Springs (a set of fronts and rears). I first put on the rears which lowered the rear 7/8" and left out the fronts. That was enough to level the car but I decided I liked the 'rakish' look better so I put the fronts on later.
I don't know how to work the search engine here but there are pics somewhere here where the Roush rears have been installed by other folks.

Hey, I thought this was funny. I did not know what rakish meant, so I looked it up.
Rakish:
- (Naut.) Having a saucy appearance indicative of speed and dash. --Ham. Nav. Encyc.
- Dissolute; lewd; debauched.
- marked by up-to-dateness in dress and manners; "a dapper young man"; "a jaunty red hat" [syn: dapper]
- marked by a carefree unconventionality or disreputableness; "a cocktail party given by some...raffish bachelors"- Crary Moore [syn: devil-may-care]
- Of the character of a rake; dissolute.
- Nautical Having a trim, streamlined appearance: "We were schooner-rigged and rakish, with a long and lissome hull" (John Masefield).
- smart; jaunty; dashing: a hat worn at a rakish angle.
- (of a vessel) having an appearance suggesting speed.
- like a rake; dissolute: rakish behavior.
-----------------
admittedly, that did not help much. "Like a rake?!" How can you be like a rake? So I looked up another word in the definition of rakish.
dis·so·lute (dĭs'ə-lōōt')
- Lacking moral restraint; indulging in sensual pleasures or vices.
- Dashingly or sportingly stylish; jaunty.
Jaunty?!?
jaun·ty (jôn'tē, jän'-)
- Having a buoyant or self-confident air; brisk.
- Crisp and dapper in appearance; natty.
Natty?!?!
nat·ty (nāt'ē)
- Neat, trim, and smart; dapper.
Okay, I was not coming to any words I would consider in my vernacular, but I think I am getting it. You liked the more sleek appearance of a fully lowered car? Or, you know, you liked the more saucy, jaunty, natty, look.
"Roush lowering springs: for the saucy jaunty natty look we all desire."
I want to make sure I get paid when that becomes their new slogan.
Thanks for increasing my word power bluecar.

Thanks Grey! I first saw the useage of the word on a Triumph TR7. I admit I used the word loosely but am glad I used it correctly. $100 dollar words are fun.
