Another spring ?

1LOUDGT · September 1st, 2007, 02:25 PM

I was thinking of purchasing the Roush rear springs for my car. The Roush website states the springs will lower the rear ¾ of an inch which is what I’m looking for. Rear of the car is currently at 29 and ½ inches.

My question is with such a short drop can I get away with not purchasing any additional parts such as an adjustable panhard rod.

One more question. After installing my supercharger the front end seems a little lower. I measured 28” give or take a couple of 1/16ths. Does anyone know the factory height from street surface to the edge of the wheel well?

you should just lower all four corners. And how much did the front drop? It could be ebcause of the added weight of the blower

1LOUDGT · September 2nd, 2007, 05:04 PM

5/16” difference. Thanks man.

No one can help me with my first question? Anyone.

This uy I know has an 05 Roush and he has the Eibach sportlines on it with no panhard bar. The axle is cocked a little to the side but it drives fine. I think you would be fine with the stocker with such a small drop.

I don’t think I need it either. Most of the lowering kits are 1” to 2” front and back. Thats drastic compared to ¾” to 1” I think I’ll be ok.

I’m shooting for more of a level look rather than just lowered. Like the 69 and 70’s Boss mustangs. The back end is 29 ½”drop it down to about 28 ½” to 28 ¾” should look just right with the 28” front.

Yeah I think you'll be fine.
