Hello, I have a plan for my mustang, I want it to handle well, More concern about performance than cosmetic issues.Like any project it will take time and lots of money. I have started by installing a Hurst short throw shifter, G-trac brace and shock tower brace. I have done alot of reserch on tire wheel combinations. Like I said money is a issue so I went with 275/40/17 Pirelli Nero-zeros on 9 inch rims and 245/40/17 Pirrelli Nero-zeros on the 8 inch rims The choice of tire size has benifts and draw backs. The benifit was the smaller tire lowers my rear end gear ratio to a better level without changing the gears, Gives be the better performance level. The draw back is you cant install bigger brakes. On the plus side I dont have the money to do it anyways. A better performance brake shoes and rotors will come in the near future. I have caught alot of slack about the space between the fender and tire. I like the look and dont care how others feel about it because its my car! Why did I run the shorter side tire on the front? I wanted the side wall height to be equal and I wanted the fender tire gap to be equal all the way around. I love the raked apperance of the mustang and dont want to change that. Something I was concerned about was the clearancewith the small tires. I have about 5 3/4 inches at the rocker panels and 4 inches at the lowest point. (exhaust and front g-trac brace) I was going to install a 1 inch drop, But after driving the car, I dont think it will benifit me any. The car is a daily driver not just a track car. I plan to install adjustable pan-hard bar with brace, Better sway bars and Koni adjustable shocks.Upper and lower rear control arm links are being considered. After reading the forums I have mixed thoughts on those.
For better performace I want to let the car breath better, Cold air intake and better mufflers with a x-pipe set up, underdrive pulleys are in order! Any sugestions would be appreciated. Thanks for visiting my profile page!
