Yeh, please don't get 20's, I understand that you're going for looks, but 20's don't look good on our models. Maybe put some 19's in the back, and some 18's in the front.

The Eibachs are pretty good too (the ones that drop the car 1.5", not sure on model name). When I bought my car, I thought it was the stock ride height but when I put in my control arms, surprise! The ride quality is not bad (unless you are going over a strip of pavement w/ patches galore and pot holes). Just make sure you take driveways and speedbumps at a slower speed. Scraping isn't a problem but it does happen if you go to fast.

FRPP B springs would be my recommendation if you're using a giant wheel like that and you have ride quality concerns. Honestly a 20 is plum silly... 19's at most and 18's look best to me.

Remember.... the bigger the wheel the slower the car and the more you'll want to upgrade the brakes. Big wheels carry bigger centrifugal forces and take more braking power to stop, so if you're going that big... at least a 13" front and rear kit would be appropriate.

Enjoy.

20's on any Mustang older than 2004 is just wrong.
