Question for those using Steeda Ultralites?
Are any of you using the Steeda Ultralites that didn't have to do anything other than getting a front end alignment?
I have been on the fence about getting these springs for a long time and I don't want to have to spend alot of extra money on panhard rods and camber kits. I have the Roush rear springs and want to balance the car out buy using matching springs.
Would I just be smarter to buy the front Roush springs and install them?
Getting ready to install new drilled/slotted rotors, HP pads and stainless brake lines so this would be the time to do it, not later.

I would think getting the Roush front springs, so they are a matched set would be the best option. Just my 2 cents worth.

With the Ultra Lites you won't need the camber bolts. The camber alignment window is big enough (-.75° +/- .75°) so any alignment shop can get back into those specs. Toe will have to be adjusted slightly, too.
The panhard bar will depend on how your car is from the factory. Some are lucky and after lowering it the rear axle is centered. My rear axle needs to come back to the passenger side about 1/8" to center it perfectly. I haven't bought a panhard bar yet, but I will soon.

I replaced the Roush rear springs with Steeda Ultralites to reduce the gap over the front tires. They lowered the front of my car 7/8" and the rear 1 1/8". The position of the rear axle didn't change. The front was aligned without camber plates. The actual camber on my car was -1.0.
I recently replaced the Ultralites with the Roush full suspension kit. The front drop on my car is the same as the Ultralites, 7/8". I haven't had the alignment checked yet but I'm assuming I won't need camber plates.
Sorry about running on here. The Ultralites are good springs but I would just buy the Roush front springs. The drop is about the same and I didn't notice a significant difference in the handling or the ride of my car. Year One has the Roush front springs for $116.
