Am thinking about lowering my Gt vert, but i would then like to go with deep dish bullitts, and a Magnapack system, can anyone tell me if i will still be able to get the car lowered and fit the deep dish 17's without any rubbing issues or exhaust clunks?

Depends on how low you are going and how wide of a tire you plan on running. Plenty of people have lowered cars with exhaust and deep dish, not a problem.

You shouldn't have a problem, my buddy has a 2in. drop and full exhaust on his 96 Cobra and there are no problems with it, and he was running a set of Cobra R's that are almost equal in size as the deep dishes with no rubbing either. As a shop to see what they say but you should be okay!

You should not have any problems, I have the Eibach pro kit with deep dish bullitts with a 285/40/17 on the rear without any problems at all. I am thinking that next tire I get will be a 315/50/17 for the rear.

Thanks for your help,
My Stang is Lazer red, do you think i should go with black bullitts or keep the grey ones?

I vote black deep dish bullitts.

Dude....what else do you have done to your car to be dynoing at 298...do you mean wheel hp or flywheel hp?

look closer at his sig. it says 298 bhp so it's at the flywheel.

As long as we're discussing Vert suspension I have a question. Were the 98 GT vert's (or any verts for that matter) "detuned" for an easier ride, because it seems to me that while the front suspension takes bumps with a single bounce, the rear end sort of chuckles over the bumps, and it gets a bit disconcerting at high speeds. I haven't driven a coupe so I have no comparison. Also, what sort of suspension alterations would remedy the problem (I'm not looking for a drastic lowering but I suppose an inch or so would be nice, especially to compensate for Ford's assumptions about leaving space for winter chains). Thanks.
