Tires and wheels looks good. But, I am with the masses and agree it must be lowered.....I'm very happy with my Steeda Lights and have not scraped, yet.
Where did you get them?......how much....install...how is the ride......all that info. Also, would you happen to know your actualy clearance?.....I have the chin spoiler which drops my front about 2 inches from stock. Thanks.
I got the springs from Brenspeed for $200+. I got the Tokico Hp's off eBay for less than $300. I did the install myself with the help of my cousin (or vice versa if the truth be known). On my GT/CS the spoiler is now about 5-3/4" off the ground. Which is 1-1/2" lower than a standard GT (I think).

Frostbyte May 10th sounds like a good time. I want in how many of us Mustang owners can go? Of course 20 bucks ain't going to be a problem. I justa assume to call or do it ahead of time so that there won't be a problem with anybody.

Anyone else know for sure?
You talking the 14th? If so im in, if I can borrow a Helmut for a couple of runs. Suppose I could rent one @ the track for $20-$30 but Id rather just borrow one if I could.

How much is race gas this year?
yup, weds. the 14th. I have my motox helmet you could use, should still be legal. only a few years old.




and fyi, jenzpony is a chick

Ed-
A helmet really isnt all that expensive. I bought mine last year at Griffins Motorsports on State Street in Schenectady and if I remember right it was less than $100.
The owner didnt charge me the tax because I paid with cash too.

Sorry Jen, apparently I can't decipher what the screen-name "jenzpony" means, lol


And as for a meeting place for weds I say we meet at Colonie Center on Wolf Road and pick up the northway south (oxymoron) and hop over to 90 from there. Or we can meet at Crossgates and pick up 87 from there onto 90. Both are pretty much the same thing, but X-gates is closer to 90 by a mile or two and it might be easier to stick together based on how that ramp is setup.

I will have to check out Breenspeed for those springs. Do you feel the difference in the ride?

The ride is firmer without question. But, It is very close to original. Not harsh at all. Handling is much improved.
