how is going with a 13-15" rim with a low profile tire going to help you at the drag strip? low profile tires are your enemy there.
its your car, do what you want, but what you are wanting isnt going to happen. the car will still handle like **** without sway bars.
and yes you could have gotten abs in 05

Gtech-pro ,sorry.

better brake pads as soon as the old ones were out of course ..I don't call better pads an upgrade even though it is. I call it (better quality part).
My understanding of GT brake swap is that an 05 16 inch wheel will not fit over a GT brake swap so that would be back to spending money on rim tire combo again .
Ok so maybe to get some upgrades a larger rim would be needed .
More traction in general on all four tires should make the stock braking behave better by raising the lock up thresh hold as I don't think the 2005 offered ABS.(or did it)?

Damn...you got me there...I forgot about that one haha. I can't stand the stock 16s (sorry to those who have them) and that's why I got the PP. If I were you I'd get a lightweight set of 17s, get the GT brakes/pads, sway bars, ford tloc (makes both rear wheels have power), and you should be pretty happy with that. Oh and if you haven't gotten a CAI and tune combo do that as well.
I'll just buy a GT and put a v6 in it. HAHA
cool
