H&R Sport VS Super Sport
 
I plan on ordering the FR500 Deep Dish rims in 17x10.5 and 17x9 as soon as they become in stock. But for now i'm going to order the springs and tires. I've narrowed my tire choices down to these 3 combos.

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 F 275/40/17 R 315/35/17
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KD F 275/40/17 R 315/35/17
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A Drag Radial 2 F 275/40/17 R 315/35/17
Would it look stupid with drag radials upfront? I know when I road raced in my RX7 a lot of the Mustang and Fbody drivers had this setup.

But on to my real question, I've read that the H&R sport springs work fine with this setup with no rubbing. But would they rub if I put the Super sport springs on them? H&R's website claims the sports spring drop the Front 1.6 and the rear 1.5. While the Super Sport Springs drop the front 1.75 and rear 1.6. Does anyone know if that would rub? Am I better just going off with the tried and true version seeing as how I don't want to waste money. Also if anyone has input on what tires I should get let me know.

Thanks,
Nik

All I know is that every stang I ever saw with just the sport springs the back looks lower than the front. The SS look awesome.

Hmmmm mine don't look that way.

I say just go with the Sports and you will be fine.No you don't need the DR's up front but you can if you want.

I just like the look of uniform tires on all 4 corners. But do you think the DR would look silly up front?

Thanks for the input, anyone else?

i think most people go with the ss.
as for the dr up front whats the point? just to match, thats crazy. :poke: i understand what u mean, but u could just buy a street tire from the same maker.

There's no point other than to have matching tread on all 4 corners. I think I might try out the super sport and see how they fit. Rolling the fenders is always an option right?
