Default Newly Installed Roush Rear Springs...

I just installed the Roush Rear Coil Springs on my 2006 V6. If you are looking to eliminate the rake in the rear of your car and even out your fenderwell space, Roush Rear Coil Springs are the way to go. Plus they are relatively in expensive compared to lowering the entire car. Check out the before and after pictures. Enjoy.

Very Nice. I like a slight bit lower, but many do look for this effect. Plus, I assume the ride is pretty good? Downside of the Eibach pro kit is the ride without changing the struts and shocks, which I did not. Did you make any other changes to suspension? They look good!

Looks good, I was thinking of getting the Roush rear only but thought it was GT only and would be too stiff?

Are they the ones on the roush site below?

I just bought a set of 4 FRPP and only used the rear, oh well...

The ride doesn't feel any different and because it is just an inch drop to the rear only there were no other modifications needed.

These springs work on both the GT and V6.

Then I am envious! Thanks for the detailed pictures.

BTW: The difference is between a vert or coup. Verts are heavier in the rear.
