'05 Roush rear end

I measured ( plumbing down from the fender to the center of the wheel) and found a distance of 1 1/4" on the left side and 3/4" on the right side. So it's off by 1/4" to the left (driver's side). What's that mean? I lowered the car with Eibach Sportline springs. When a car is lowered by replacing the springs, does the body move sideways in relation to the rear end?? What's it do to allignment? Is it within factory specs? Would like answers to ALL these questions.......oh, and how do I get the rust off my discs after a winter of storage? Thanks..............

Yes, your rear end is kicked sideways as a result of lowering your car. Your camber will also be off quite a bit and you will need a kit to correct it - Eibach does one for a shade over $30. My alignment is seriously f'd, but I don't think it's cos of the springs.

Have your springs rotated on their perches during install.When installing my wifes kit the same as yours it did that and it went 1/4 off.We re installed carefully making sure no twisting on install.They are perfect now... Hope this cures the problum.You may also install the camber kit it helps more.

I have read numerous posts regarding the shifting of the body when lowering the rear. Most are installing adjustable panhard bars to correct. Seems like every mod leads to another mod (or fix for the mod). Let us know the outcome, I want to lower my car with the eibach kit and it would be great to know what to expect.

Yes a panhard Bar is best for the lowering mod.BMR puts out an adjustable one that I think is best.Very easy to adjust while its on the car and at the track.I'll post a photo later of the panhard bar...
