Yes, the GT500 wheels are 10.5. I didn't realize that STU was off limits. Locally, STX is mostly the WRX crowd. Seems like most of the mustangs I see are GT500 or Cobras and I think most of them ran SM, but most were on street tires comparable to my Nittos, not the r-compounds there is a tire pax and a novice pax locally. I could do either one. I have yet to see anyone else running ESP locally.

Yeah, having looked into things a bit I may consider doing the shocks/struts. Any preference Koni Yellow vs. Tokico D-Spec? Thanks.

The general consensus is that the Konis are the better damper. I own the d specs and they work so I can't complain, they are just a bit firm even on some lesser settings with the Steeda Sport springs. If you can get them, get the Konis, otherwise the d specs are not a bad choice.

Fridge, do a ride along in travs car. He is running Koni Yellows on an otherwise stock setup. You will see how amazing Koni's are riding with him during a lap. It's impressive how firm they are on a stock setup.

As one of the members who first bought Tokico D-Specs and then switched to Koni Yellows the choice for me is clear - Koni Yellows!
