Lowering rear springs
Ok fellas, my car is lowered with 18 inch shelby wheels. The springs used are the Dub/ Roush springs which are suppose to lower the car 1 inch up front and 1.5 out back. Well the back did not drop much. The measurements from ground to fender are 28" up front and almost 29" out back. Does anyone here recommend a spring for the back that would lower the back a bit more? Rumors are that the Dub edition springs do not lower the car as advertised. Also, I am happy with the front springs. Pic below

Hey Grabber, you don't happen to know the part number for your rear springs do you? I also have the dub springs and I'm setting at 28.5 out back. I might go this route bc I could swap the rears myself pretty easy and I would like 1/2 more drop in back.

I can't believe yours sits that low in the back. I'd say it dropped it more than 1.25''. Stock brembro's are usually 29.75 range from my experience so that would mean you got almost 2 inches.

Thanks. I actually pulled the trigger today. Just bought the rears and gonna try that out w/ the Pro Kit up front since I don't want to mess w/ another alignment and labor up front.
