Those things look purdy all by themselves. Are they just for the rear?

Edit just saw the coils on closer inspection... How much drop are you expecting from them? They look similar to C springs

It's time for brakes. I might also sneak in a short throw on the order

About 1.5 in the front and 1 in the rear. Stupid PO put mach springs on it, and I havent gotten around to ordering the correct springs until now. She sits way to high with the mach springs. I was looking at going a different route, but I figured I would keep it orginal with the Roush springs.

How it sits with the mach springs:

Always loved side exit exhaust on the roushes. Do you notice your rear tires not lasting as long from the exhaust being so close to them? That along with setup cost led me to go to a different route

I've only had the car two years and I put tires on it when I got it. Rear tires don't usually last long on my cars lol

I honestly think he bought a mach and swapped springs. All the other roush parts were still there... Control arms, sway bar, etc

Oh, well the second that the wheels on that car hit the ground and I saw how high it sat. It would have went right back up in the air lol.

I knew it before I bought it. The price was honestly too good to pass up, I only paid 7500 for the car. It was too good of a deal to pass up. Sold the fox for 5500 so it wasn't a bad upgrade at all. Gotta love rich folk who don't appreciate cars!

Well, I bought a completely stock engine out of an '03 model GT with 55k miles on it. Mine gave up the ghost last fall. Also, bought some track wheels/tires. Guy just bought an '01 Cobra from my buddy and didn't want these with it. So his loss, my gain!

While I was wiring the switch up, I added a usb port to charge my phonz. Put it in the coin holder I never used.

Gonna give it a try anyway! JayC is pretty close to doing it now, if he hasn't already. I think 11.teens is as quick as he's been so far.

My plan is to go pick up a 98 GT roller from my buddy in Mississippi, and start building it. I haven't really decided on the engine build yet, but it will have an auto and a turbo.
