Default Roush help

Planning on building my stang into a roush stang, gonna have a stage 2 body kit with the front valances and not the bumper, with the roush enhanced sound side exhaust..
I'm also planning on running the roush track day kit, but not sure how that handles (need your thoughs on the kit)
also planning to upgrade my brakes roush brakes (need opinions as well)
a 2.2l kb sc with cool air kit and a vtengines built sb

so whatcha think guys sound good or not?

Are you saying that you are not goimg to put on a Roush bumper cover on the front?I won't say for sure but I do not think I would bother with the lower valance.There is a good chance it won't fit.The Roush front bumper cover is really sweet,especially with the lower valance.IMO...
I changed out all my suspension with Roush sway bars ,struts and shocks.This makes a difference.A lot sportier.I put BFG-DR's on all 4 feet(Roush 18x10 wheels)
As for the brakes I put drilled and slotted rotors on the front.I put on a full set of"Hawk" racing brake pads.The nice thing about the Roush is you can build it any way you want!Go and get the Blower too.I'd recommend the short shift shifter as well.

hell yea dude, i am a huge roush fan. ill take a roush over a saleen any day. unfortunately roush doesnt make suitable competition for the s281E but who cares anyway back on subject. IMO i like the stage 3 kit a little better. gives the front end a makeover, along with lowerin a bit. not a huge fan of the side exhaust. i would go with the 360R rear bumper. but thats me. on suspension i like the roush suspension no doubt but a bit pricy for me. stick with ROUSH for your brakes and rotors. and i cant remember if you said u wanted a KB 2.2, or not but u do know they upgraded their s/c's and what was the 1.7 is now a 2.1. and the 2.2 went to a 2.7 i believe...not 100% on that one though. anyway +10 on the KB. u cant go wrong with a KB. are u goin with the roush exhaust or somethin different????

sorry a typo on my end i meant the 2.1 and i am planning on running an all roush suspension and brake setup, just wanna hear some stories about how they handle and how low does the kit lower the car? i dont mind the price as this is a project car and i'm pretty patient when it comes to it, also i'd like to know would i be able to run 18x10 fr500 dd's all around and if possible would a 265 285 combo still look good on that? i'd like roush rims but dd's are just soooooo damn sexy heh and yea i like the sage 3 front but its a bit overdone and i'd like to keep my car a little bit more sleeperish and the roush stage 2 kit is pretty subtle, and yea the s281 is nice=P thinking about buying a s281 spoiler. also with the roush brakes which set of brakes would be sufficient, i dont like the idea of overkill cause then it'd look gaudy, i'm trying to build a trackable street car, it'll be a dd and when i get a chance to i'll goto the strip and get myself school'd by the vets^^

I don't think the 18x10's will fit in the front, especially if you lower the car, but I'm not 100% on that. As for the tire size you want to do. . . the 265s will not fit on a 10" wide rim. The 285s I have on my rear 18x10 dd look almos too small. I would say that a 305 would look the best on the 10" wide rim, but I'm just guessing since that isn't what I have. All the other stuff you have planed sounds great though, good luck bud.
