my mustang has 17" gt alloy rims with semi-lo-pro tires. (not quite stock sidewall, but not the thinnest you can get, sorry i dunno much about tires)
is this ok? I like them but i haven't seen anyone on here who doesn't want some sort of aftermarket rims. I really, really like my gt rims.
Can I lower my car 1.5" with these rims/tires? I don't want it sitting crazy low, I just want a "meaner" look. Can I just cut the springs, like in the how to? If so, what's the best tool to use for that? Can I put a mach 1 chin spoiler if I lower it 1.5"? i don't want to scrape it on speed bumps.

 

Yea I am rolling with 18 inch Saleen Wheels on H&R Springs which is about 1.5 inch.........my tire size is 265 35 18 I also have the chin spolier and havent scraped it yet..... something hanging under your car will scrape before the chin spoiler it is also flexible as well....

 

Another thing there is a thread posted down for cutting springs......

 

I've read the thread, as i mentioned in my post. I just wanted to make sure it was a good thing to do- i've heard otherwise.

 

Do I need to replace anything when i cut the shocks?

 

maybe to cut the springs?
I wouldn't suggest to cut ur stock springs
save some money for Eibach's

 

yea u can get new Eibach's on ebay for like 140 bucks which is even cheaper than a good intake or exhaust. i would go Eibach if i were you, i am putting them on my car over the summer because i just dont have time with finals now=<

 

If you cut your shocks, you'll be fukked. It's totally safe to cut your stock SPRINGS. Just make sure you have carefully read the full how-to and you'll be ok.

 

Everyone who says cutting springs is bad has no idea or experience with what they're talking about. Cutting stock springs is fine, since they're not progressive rate. You won't effect the spring rate by cutting them.

 

lol, I meant the springs sorry for my nubness.
And I just had the rear shocks & front struts replaced at econolube- am i still good to cut?
