Must hang around a different crowd than I do then... like you said, to each his own... I prefer drag racers and muscle cars. I've always thought low profile tires looked kinda silly. Guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Let downforce take care of it. If you lower the car AND put low-profile 18s on it AND sink the money for a bump steer kit you'll still feel every crack in the roadway. Muscle car = taller sidewall, otherwise = Rice, the other, other white meat.

I'm with Don W.
Short rubber looks ghetto to me.

Get Eibach springs Pro-Line or Sport line I myself have the Sport line you can get 18" rims and fill them up just fine.

Just my opinion mind you - but lowering the car would SUCK big time - at least for me. Ford got the hight just right - I can pull up next to any curb and the spoiler just clears it - have never bumped it in 3500mi and I pull up until my tires touch.

You folks that have lowered your cars - no way you can do that. You'd be bumping every curb in sight.

I like the hight, I like the ride, I like the bullits, and I like the spinners

Now can you get the same effect and make it look good by keeping 17", getting lower profile tires and then lowering it? Or should the minimum wheel size be 18"?

As long as you're willing to give up traction...

ok so is it worth getting the springs just to lower the car? Dont you get any kind of improved ride or abilities with the new springs? I'm thinking about getting the steeda or some other brand. I'm also getting 18" tires and would like to know for the best results of riding and turning what profile of tire would fit best with lowering it with new springs. I dont race and would like to maintain a good ride/turning ability. What size tire should i got with and what brand for the best ride with a new set of springs? Nitto? or what? Thanks

well.. more rubber looks cheap to me [8D]

case in point.... I saw a beautiful 05 at the gym parking lot. It was bone stock but still nice...then i noticed his tires, the rubber was turning brown.. more rubber, more brown and it just totally killed the look of an otherwise beautiful car

but as Don said... its probably because we hang with a different type. I dunno, from an aesthetic standpoint perhaps its a "mustang crowd" thing to think alot of tire looks good... and if thats the case... fine; thats not the case with the imports though... its amazing how different the people are from car board to car board. I like it... shows me a different spin on things

I'll admit, as a car enthusiast I always respected the mustang for what it can do ( as well as a few other cars.. i.e vette) but it was never really my cup of tea. I was more attracted to what the imports had to offer. I came here, initially because of my attraction to the 05... so this whole "mustang world" is still somewhat new to me....

so bear with me

Well said, Mongrelman... the last thing I want my Mustang to look like is an import.
