How's the ride quality, and how much does the Roush kit cost? Inquiring minds want to know. As you can see by looking at my L in the sig, I need serious help!!!

Looks Grrrrrrrrrrrreat hslightnin

However I don't think I'm a sucker
and for your information it's not snowing.

So ok maybe it was 3 degrees yesterday and felt like
15 below with the wind chill figured in,
but hey, it's not snowing.

Besides, I'm sure you guys wish you had the 4 seasons
like we have. Lets see, there's Winter where you shovel
snow and hide inside all day cause is sub zero with the frigging wind. Then there's spring, you get to rake and replant every got dam thing on your property because wintrer destroyed and killed it. Then there's the wonderful 8 weeks of summer (we prepair all year for this) Usually rains every got dam week end, and then with the blink of an eye, Fall comes and you spend every awake
minute raking your f.ucking neighbors leaves because the lazy SOB don't rake um.
Oh ya,
I forgot to mention the wonderful pollen season, where you must wash your car 6 times a day because it turns yellow every dam 10 minutes.

Ah, you guys prob get bored of racing everyweekend anyways.

OH GOD I GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE

Great choice! I also have the Roush installed.

The front will drop another 1/2" or so after about a few weeks. Make sure you recalibrate your swaybar endlinks to take advantage of the new lower height.

The ride if you haven't already noticed, will get "worse" than stock, meaning that it is less smooth due to the higher spring rates.

Also, watch out for squeaky rear leaf springs. There is a simple fix for it, but I can't remember it off hand. It should be buried somewhere here in the forums.

Other than that, you'll be happy in the long run, that's for sure!

Front & Rear? Where do we get the correct parts?

Also, what is the Roush Rear spring fix to avoid the noise?

Measure the amount of drop in the front, and that's how much shorter the front swaybar links have to be. The same goes for the rear.

As for the squeak, I beleive there are some sort of rubber spacers out there, but I'm not too sure...
