Mr Graystang - Thanks man! I always enjoy reading your posts, no matter what thread you are posting in lol

Natedog -- my drivers side wheel is sitting farther back for some odd reason. So that side "looks" lower but its really the same height... It bothers me. I'll go outside and take a pic of the badges up close right nowwwww

Teej - Is there anyway to fix my wheel without spending a million dollars for something so stupid? I would rather leave the wheel how it is than spend anything more than $50 on a fix for it. Call me ignorant, but that's bullsh*t. Ford should pay me for having a defective front wheel stance.. And spacers as in to bring the wheels close to the outside of the fender? Or to fix the missalignment of the wheel in between the fender?

McQ, thanks dude!

Crash -- Anything less than 25.5" from ground to fender and you're in trouble IMO... That's the LOWEST i would go. As it is, i'm barely at 26, and you want to go lower?! Maybe your 18's bring you up another little bit idk

Hoss -- You look like a fool for not lowering that thing sooner! All because you wanted optimal handling or w/e. Your car looks sickkk now though. I love looking at it

Spacers to put the wheels out closer to the edge of the fender.

They look good from a front and side view. They look sick actually. From the rear, they look really tucked in. I can live with it til i can get some spacers and try it out.

Here ya go natedog.. It was worth it for me to tape off the GT because it adds contrast... I have seen badges sprayed all black and didn't like them.. The white spots on these pics is just wax

After driving it more since i've been home, it does bounce a little more than i would like, but only on hilly roads... I drove it down the parkway and on a local road for quite some time and it rides great on roads like that... It just all depends on how the road is..

It is a little less forgiving compared to what i had, but well worth it for the style IMO.

I tested out my usual turn to see how much the steering improved.. It stayed planted the whole way through. I was impressed!

If your lowered, avoid anything with bump in the name like the plague.
