Roush help
8x10's(roush)wheels will fit the front nicely,even if it's lowered.If you stay stock on the front cover then don't run a blower.Alot more air flow with the Roush bumper cover,is needed with the blower(the OEM bumper cover is restrictive).No issue if you don;t run a blower.Also Roush wheels are made to put more air. on the rotors.A friend I know ,warped his rotors on the track,not using Roush wheels and stock rotors and pads.Roush wheels let more air on the rotors.Air ducts for your front brakes can be fabricated if you track your car.If you lower the car you may need an adjustable Panhard bar,in the back end...If Jack doesn't sell it; go aftermarket.Good Luck!I am all done my project,and the Stage 3 setup is fantastic!
The roush kits are pretty nice. The exhaust sounds excellent.
As far as suspension goes, it's alright. I'd seriously recommend going with Maximum motorsports suspension pieces which are really top notch.
The KB is a a very nice (though expensive) blower, If you've got the budget, I can't recommend a better blower for an all around nice street machine.
The Roush brakes are not nearly worth the money. These 2000 Cobra R brakes are much better and even less money. If you want 2 piston caliper, 13 inch rotor brakes, the cobra kit is fairy decent at less than a third of the price: Cobra Brake Conversion kit.

I love my Roush. I added the stage 2 body kit, side exhaust, the 4 piston brakes, Stage 3 Chrome rims,
I like the body kit but I'm going to change the front to stage 3. I love the sound of the side exhaust. The brakes are the best I have ever used. My STI has 4 piston Brembos but there not as good as the Roush brake it. I like the Chrome rims. I do not have the any of the Roush suspesion parts.

Body kit= wieght. Why is it roush stage 2 mustangs have exhaust, intake, and factory tune and they are still only as fast as a stock mustang gt. My buddy has an 02 convertible with a shaker hood and thats it and i was driving my friends 02 roush stage 2 w/ ud pullies and i got him off the line (traction huge @$$ tires) but then in 3rd he ran away from me and i know how to drive better than that F'er does haha. It seems funny though becuase with about $3k worth of bolt on work you can out perform a roush 2 in everyway. Case in point we took my car and his car (the stage 2) to the track and i ate him alive around the corners. I have weld in subs, tubular control arms, eibach springs w/ 2" drop, 275 tires, etc plus a lot more power but it seems like you pay a lot for a name and a body kit. Even the roush stage 3's are only running 12.9 in the 1/4. There are a lot of ppl that do that no problem w/o a blower. Ok im done roush hating. . . . .[sm=icon_sneaky.gif] . . . . Saleen for life! lol haha
true the only reason why im contemplating the roush kits is because of the name, but there are examples i can see, i am a novice modder and there are alot of roush's i've seen around here, their stance is beautiful and the way the cross drilled rotors look is the best, if i can be pointed in a better direction/less expensive. I know that maximum motorsports has a good name, their kits are expensive as hell and i have not seen a stang with any of their kits, my original plan was to get some mm c/c's and sbc's and run the mach1 shocks/struts (again i've seen them in person thats the only reason why i thought about using them) and other suspension components, but i've been a big roush fan all my stang life heh, just didnt have enough money to get an authentic roush (pricey buggers).
I am not set in my ways, this is just my thought process heh, I'm loving the input tho thanks alot guys^^ keep it up please (newbie beg) heh
oh and how much would it be to run a complete cobra brake kit front and back with rotors (slotted or cross drilled) calipers and such, or the mach 1's cause i dont like the cobra calipers, feels like im doing a bit misbadging although its only brakes. this will be the very next thing i do.
Also does anyone have clips of the enhanced side exhaust or the reg side exhaust from roush? wanna know the difference
and i never really thought about the venting issue when i sc the car i always thought if i sc it with an intercooler it'd be fine even with the stock front, its just that the stage 3 has been overdone, and i'd still like a bit more of a subtle kit
blah soo many questions!! heh.. anyways here is my mod process
brakes -> 18x9/10 fr5's black with powder coated redfire lip -> 265/295(305) tires (not sure which brand) -> headers/cat'd x/exhaust -> suspension -> paintjob and roush 2 kit (maybe a functional heat extracting hood (clickie) -> lantech tranny w/ tc -> forged sb -> 12 psi kb intercooled
I need the most help with brakes, exhaust components, and suspension. I am not sure what is a good setup, I like lowered cars just cant have it too low (crappy california roads) and i'd like to run lt's but cant (crappy california smog laws..=/) and the brakes are gonna be important (crappy bay area rain)
thank you for your input and putting up with my newbie posts i know you guys must have gone through all of this many times before, thank you for your patience!!!!!

well i know thats gonna be alot, just wanna know whats good cause i dont have any previous experience and have not seen any of these mods in person i'd like advice on suspension please, gonna be buying the front cobra kits and wonder if i can get matching rear brakes
I have a GT that is a roush clone. It has the stage 3 bumper, stage 2 side skirts and rear bumper pieces. Beware the side exhaust is $800. I have all the jack roush exterior decals, roush floor mats, roush shift ****, roush intake, and Jack roush himself autographed it. The only way you can tell is the gauges are GT and the seats are stock. Or if you look under the car you wont see any pretty blue suspension parts. Roush **** is so expensive.
