Thanks all! Back when I first got the car I photoshopped these wheels onto it and thought, "I'm gonna have those one day". Lucky me I was right!

Quick question about lowering, Should I buy just the springs or would I have to go into new struts & get caster/camber plates?

And one of these days I will finally do away with the stripe... I have a picture in my head of the car with matching color sideskirts and no stripe at all and I like it

if you have the money, go coil-overs or struts, shocks, and springs. if not, then get springs and camber bolts. no need for camber plates really. but after you lower it, wait a week and get an alignment with the camber bolts.

Lowering the car and removing the gold decal would make your Stang look really nice! I am planning on dropping mine very soon! Impatiently waiting on my tax money to go into my account.....
They are the same ones that were put on the project car

Ok sounds good. Now, off topic, you must tell me what the text on your avatar pic is supposed to say...

The wheels & tires look great, congrats....but I do agree with everyone else about the lowering and gold stripe. Once you address those 2 things, the car will look even sharper.

The only thing you can look down on and still appreciate

anyway back on topic...

Thanks again everyone for the compliments. Seeing as how it'll be cheap/free, the Gold Stripe will probably come off next week. Once I look into the cost a little more I may look at lowering within the next month or two.
