I just ordered a set since A: I didn't want to go through the trouble to change the whole suspension B: wanted to retain a decent ride height for these lousy Houston streets I travel.

Who has this setup? How do you guys/ladies like it? I e-mailed Roush and they told me this drop won't bring the pinion angle out of spec. Is this right or have you experienced otherwise?

Thanks! :SNSign:

You'll be fine. I have all 4 Steeda springs (1'' drop) but my son has just the rears and it looks great....level. I'll be reinstalling my stock front springs soon because the Whipple weighs the front end down a bit.

So both your cars didn't need to tweak the pinion angle?

Just put the rears on this last week and all is good. Sits level and ride feels pretty much like stock.

awesome, awesome AWESOME!!!

Can't wait! as cool as the car's styling is I'm not a fan of the retro 70's jacked up suspension look.

I'm curious if anyone with only Rear Springs installed have driven the car HARD thru some turns. Does it help or hurt the push? I can't stand the way they push going into a curve.

Thanks,
Roger

I put them on towards the end of the summer and was completely satisfied. Leveled the car perfectly....if that's all you're looking for right now. I have a steep driveway which is why I didn't go with the fronts. But that jacked up rear had to go. Below is the after install shot. I'll look for a before pic.
