question about 2002 gt
Ok so i just (last friday) picked up a 2002GT, my questions are as follows:
1. what is the largest brake i can use with 17 inch bullit wheels
2. car had intake, throttle body, exhaust, was lowered, hotchkis caster plates installed alread, what would be next to do.
3. does anyone make a front end to match the new 2005 mustangs, as a bolt on.
4. what is the largest drag tire i can mount on 17 by 9 wheels to fit the stock body
Thanks in advance,

2. gears (410) & how complete is the exhaust and what kind? Long tube headers would be a suggestion. cams, stage 1 or two (valve springs needed), pick up a used s/c system.
3. no clue, try google.
4. 285s probably. that is what other people have done. Nitto 555r - drs.
5. welcome.

RE: question about 2002 gt
i just really like the front end of the new mustangs, i have wanted a mustang for about 15 years (i am 32) and the new mustangs have that retro look, i grew up with. But i do appreciate your opinion.
does anyone know of a good ford/mustang shop in the philadelphia area.

RE: question about 2002 gt
i think the kit for the new edge stangs look better than the actual '05s. However if i had a new edge id prolly put an '03 Cobra front bumper on it.
I think the 13" brakes is as large as you can go with the 17" wheel, my caliper doesnt have much clearance.
