Here are a few comparison pics for those who might be interested in evening up the stance but not dropping the car on all four corners. Total cost between the springs and panhard was $255 shipped. The springs were only $120 of that cost. My rear end was off by 1/4" which was the reason for the adjustable panhard.

Terrible lighting, but you get the idea.

super nice and super clean!

Car looks awesome Luke. The drop gives it a perfect stance. Very nice.

Now just change the wheels and the rear spoiler and it will be perfect. JK

Seriously, the car looks amazing.

The stance isn't 1/2 as good looking as your's though.

Been thinkin about doin the roush rear springs and after seein yours I am going ahead with it. Do you guys think my little 2ton floorjack will jackup the pumpkin high enough to get the jackstands under the frame???

This is when I wished I had bought the next size up but didn't figure on doing any suspension work myself until seeing how easy the rear springs are from the writeup. .

Your's really looks fine, sure hope jack will work.

I actually used two floor jacks (Craftsman 2 1/4 ton) to pick up each side, supported the car with jack stands on the unibody rails, and used a transmission jack to lower and lift the rear end. Honestly, one floor jack probably won't be enough. I would at least use two and a set of jack stands (and wheels chalks). Better to borrow or buy a second one and prevent any possible problems.

I'm not sure that just one jack could get you to the right height anyway.

Good luck.
