looks and wheel selection, you can upgrade brakes on a 4 lug system w/ drums or they make 4 wheel 4 lug disc kits... waste of money in my opinion... but to each his own

definately better brakes! especially with the sn95 setup. i have it.. my tires dont even lock up like they used to with the fox brakes.

only disadvantage of the sn95 setup is that the pedal will feel a bit spongy because of hte 3 port brake master design. There is a website that this guy made just for the 5 lug conversions. he sells a conversion kit called the 3-2 port conversion kit. itwill solve all your problems. bunch of different ways. he explains everything.. i cant seem to remember the site though..[:@]

Im not modding anythign else on my stang because i am selling it. My parents bought me a 2006 acura rsx type S for college..(Im vietnamese so dont hate! ) haha i still love mustangs and te way it sounds... i just will miss it..
