94StangGTVert · 10-20-2005, 05:50 PM

Thanks, Im glad they are different.

Although I like the look and style of the bullitts, and cobras, and what not. I didn't want them just because every stang I see has them lol.

I hate having wheels everyone else has I would never do it

Looks good.

man the wheels are great, seriously, they look like better looking fr500's, It really makes your car stand out in the parking lot if you know what i mean, its not like when you see a mustang with rims rolling by you automatically say "does he have bullitts or fr500s". And the "curved" spokes really go well with the curves of your body style. Awesome rims man!

MattJ · 10-20-2005, 08:09 PM

different but looks good!
keep em on

94StangGTVert · 10-21-2005, 05:29 AM

Thanks alot everybody. Your comments mean alot, coming from Stang enthusiasts.

Boon44 · 10-21-2005, 06:56 AM

Looks pretty good. Is it just the angle of the first pic or are the back wheels set in quite a bit? Maybe a spacer and/or little bit bigger tire in the rear.
Nice horse too.

*madmatt* · 10-21-2005, 08:15 AM

I think they look great, knew they would. Steeda sports would look nice on it...

Oh great, now Im starting to sound like the H&R whores...

94StangGTVert · 10-21-2005, 09:10 AM

How much of a drop would steeda sports give me? I was thinking I wanted a 2inch drop all the way around if I can get it but Im not real sure.

Grimmz · 10-21-2005, 09:41 AM

Nice look wheels man, they give off a kinda FR500 feel...dispite what Spin says i've not seen one other person driving around Tallahassee with them...and even MineralGT has the Chrome one's i got hyper black...I just love the thin spoke look...nice...

As for the drop I think it's 1 1/2'' in the front and 2'' in the back...

94StangGTVert · 10-21-2005, 01:32 PM

I think that would be good, I'll have to look into the Steeda's. Thanks.

WHen you look at Mustang Tunning's springs it should tell you how much it drops...

94StangGTVert · 10-21-2005, 02:09 PM

Shows 1 to 1 1/4", I dont run my car autocross or anything so Im lowering just for the looks. I need more than an inch lol. Any input on intrax? They are supposed to drop a 5.0 convertible 2" and I can get them for $250. I had intrax on my old car, had a 2" drop all the way around and it was awesome.

*madmatt* · 10-21-2005, 02:11 PM

Yea its more like what it says on the site. Its the perfect drop imo, no scraping except for larger than normal speedbumps.

94StangGTVert · 10-21-2005, 02:29 PM

I'll have to find me some pics of cars with different springs on em and make a decision.

The way I think about springs is "if im spending all this money on springs I want people to look at it and KNOW its lowered" Sometimes if a car has an inch drop it just handles better and doesnt "look" lowered. So I dont know, Ill just have to see em before I buy. lol

*madmatt* · 10-22-2005, 05:52 AM

Yes, but remember, sometimes when you drop it too low, it handles like crap and rides like crap, which is pointless. Just a though, you can tell my car is lowered, maybe even go with the H&R sports, they are great springs as well.

tennstang · 10-22-2005, 08:16 AM

I went with Eibach Pro Kit. 1.25" drop and it was just right.

94StangGTVert · 10-22-2005, 10:08 AM

I have had great results in performance and looks with Intrax. Im surprised nobody has spoken up about them. Not too common in the stang world?

94StangGTVert · 10-22-2005, 10:37 AM

Actually it looks like you'll have to change a lot more on your suspension to get the car to ride right and allign correctly with a drop as extreme as 2 inches. I guess I'll look into some Steeda Sports or something
