Do you have any pics of your car from the outside? Like mostly of your wheel gap with your Roush springs installed. I was wondering how they looked on a I4 and seeing if there was a major problem with the weight between the I4 and the V6. Thanks!

I'll try and get some pics for you when my laziness and procrastination aren't holding me back.:biggrin:
There is a little more gap in my setup than others because I put on 215/40/17s. I wanted a lower profile than the stock ZN 17s(215/50/17). Wheel gap in front is huge.
On stock ZN size tires the gap is not that much in the back but still a little too much in front. The only problem is ride height. The tires are way bigger round than the stock 15's. It practically raised the hight back to stock even with roush springs.
Weight isn't a problem from what I've felt. The springs are the same for both V6 and I4.
If I had to do it over again I would wait to install new springs until I could afford Ground Controls. With the new tires I got I would still need to lower the front at least an inch more than Roush to get rid of wheel gap.

Thanks! I would really appreciate it. I have the Roush Springs sitting in my garage and I am waiting till after X-mas to put them on. Then everyone started talking about how they didn't lower the front too much. I was just trying to see what a pic looked like.

Oh yeah, and another thing....do you think you could take some measurements of how much room there is between your tire and your fender on both front and back. Thanks, I would appreciate it much!!!

ditto....only with the Eibach Pro Kit lowering springs....i posted a pic below....this was before i did a 1 inch chop on the front springs....i don't reccomend it...but that wheel well gap was ugly as hell....and i had 205/45/16 tires (smaller overall diameter than stock wheels/tires)....so the gap was huge.....the chop did level it out a lil bit....there's still a slightly bigger gap in the frontText
