So THAT'S how my car is going to look... not bad at all...

By the way, did the spring job interfere with the SARC operation at all? I can just hear those mechanics now start whining about the electronic ride control and how I'm going to screw everything up or something.

No complaints from the mechanics on the install.
Actually, with SARC enabled, the ride seems a little SMOOTHER with the Roush springs. With SARC off, man it handles great!

Why the heck does it cost so much?

My brother had his springs done for his 99 Mustang for 100 bucks!

The cheapest estimate I can get has been $280.00 , not including the alignment.

Who knows why it's so much more. Maybe because there's a lot tighter space to work with? Maybe a lot more stuff has to be taken out/put back when the springs go in. I know that the rear seats have to come out to get at the rear strut bolts.
Hey, it's a SHO, is anything cheap on them??

I really like the look with the Roush springs. It doesn't look "slammed" and I'm glad, because I didn't want it to. It looks like how the SHO should have looked from the factory. Lowered just enough to give a sportier look than all the SLOs running around.
Looks great with my 17" spring/summer/fall wheels, and looks great with the factory wheels too.

It is a lot of work. I did my own and it took about 3.5hrs. You have to take the whole suspension apart front and rear to get the struts off and to get the rear out you have to take out the reareat and rear deck to get the tops nuts. It was a pain but well worth it. By the way that was with a lift and all air tools at a garage.
