I recommend Steeda Ultralights, I recently put 20's on mine and it sat about 5/8" higer than stock, was too high, fairly large fenderwell gap... now that I have the Ultralights in it sits PERFECT... They lower 1" in the front and a little more in the rear, about 1-1/4" - The FRPP at 1.5" would have been too much I think, as the fenderwell gap is almost non-existent.. I think its perfect.. however that is with 20x 8.5 w/ 255/35 in the front and 20x10 w/275/35 in the rear.
Here is a Before and After of the Ultralights: (Not to hijack your thread, just to show the lowered stance)

Nice wheels man! The black with the polished lip looks great with the red!
Lower that beast with some springs. Anything around the 1.5" range will suit it just fine. I wouldn't go crazy with anything like a 2.0" drop.
Also, you'll need an adjustable panhard bar if you do lower it.

That's the exact setup I came very, very close to going with. Haha...based on DarkFireGT's car!
I still kinda wish I would have ordered them...but I got cheap and now I've got new wheels (just takeoff polished bullitts) coming soon now.
Will definitely look awesome when you get the drop.

Very nice look, man!
This is my first post, I was a lurker until I saw this thread... I thought the front 3/4's shot looked familiar, and once I saw you were from Martins Ferry, I realized it's the road behind the Frito Lay warehouse, which is where I work. You've more than likely seen the silver 04 Mustang with Kandy Blue flames on it? That's my dad's Stang, it was my first time laying out freehand flames. I'm in Shadyside, we'll have to get together some time now that I've got my black '09 GT.
But anyways, back to your topic... Once again, very nice!
