Took me a Saturday to install but is well worth the time and cash. The drop was noticable but not extreme, about a inch in the front and slighty more at the rear. The ride is just a little bit firmer than stock normal driving, but when pushed, it goes right where you point it. Best of all that most annoying front end clunk is gone. So far! I have one question of anyone else that has installed this kit. Did you get any instuctions, I did not, I'm wondering if Roush has alignment spec's of their own. or if I will need to install camber bolts. I would like to install these myself before taking it in for an alignment, if I need them.
 
If it helps (and it may not), I ordered springs from Roush here in the UK (to go on my Tokico D-Spec struts) and queried any suspension realignment and they said they hadn't done anything to theirs and the tyre wear was even. This was on a hard-used presss demonstrator but get it checked if I were you. They don't have any camber bolts on their price list.
 
I installed the roush springs all the way around and I agree, it's a much improved ride. A little stiffer but no rubbing issues with my 20 inch rims even when fully loaded. My friend and I have a Hunter alignment machine that we use for all our cars and when I put it on the rack it wasn't that far off. I installed an adjustable panhard bar but DID NOT need camber bolts for the front. I have camber set to about -1.2 with a slight toe-in and haven't had any issues. My wife and I just got back from a trip to VA beach which was about 700 miles round-trip and I didn't notice any issues. Time will tell if the tires wear evenly, but at this point things look good. FYI I also did BMR LCA's, and steeda end-links.
 
So this kit you installed is the same kit as on the stage 3. cuz thats what i want, a stage 3 roush without the body panels.

Oh and what about the brakes roush uses on the stage 3, anybody have those.
