Roush Complete Suspension Kit: Does anyone have it?

Hello everyone. Does anyone out there have the Roush Complete Suspension Kit? If so, what do you think of it? I'm looking at upgrading the suspension in the Spring and need advice. I know there are many aftermarket companies to choose from, I'm leaning toward the Roush Complete Suspension Kit because I can have installed at one of many local Ford dealerships. I was at Roush Performance earlier today and I must say I was quite impressed with what I saw and how eager they were to assist. Until today, BMR was the first choice. Any thoughts?

Cheers,
Jon

I have the Roush front struts, rear shocks and front and rear springs. I used the BMR adjustable panhard rod and will be ordering the front and rear stabilizer bars soon.

So far I am happy with the product. I drove almost 400 miles last weekend and the ride is alittle stiffer than stock but the handling was great. The expansion joints on the highway are the worst part but once you leave the freeway and hit some back roads where there are some corners and turns it comes into it's own.

I like it!

I've have the Roush Complete Suspension Kit installed and I like it a lot. I went with the Roush kit because I didn't want as much drop as the FRPP kit and I wanted OEM type bushings that didn't require grease fittings. It's a very complete kit that even includes shorter front and rear bump stops.

It lowered the front of my car 7/8" and the rear 1". There's less lean in corners and less pitch on braking and acceleration. The car actually feels "lighter". I think the handling is as good as the Shelby GT-H with the FRPP kit. The ride is firm but not jarring and I haven't noticed any increase in noise or vibration. It seems like a good match for my 18" wheels and tires which really hurt the ride with the stock suspension.

Thanks very much 428, thats what I wanted to hear. In the end, it may cost more than gathering the bits and pieces myself from various manufacturers, the upside is I can drive to a Ford dealership that is 2 miles from Roush Performance headquarters and have them do the install for me.
