AtlanticBlue99 · September 17th, 2006, 03:40 AM

17x9 all around? looks good man, just lower it

itschristorres8 · September 17th, 2006, 03:46 AM

yea its 17x9 all around, but the front tires are bit smaller and thin then the back...i plan on lowering it just an inch the back and 1.25 in the front.
but
thnks

AtlanticBlue99 · September 17th, 2006, 03:57 AM

c springs are perfect for that drop man. thats what i went with and it looks sublte in rear, but nice up front: clicky to see

itschristorres8 · September 17th, 2006, 04:16 AM

yea that looks perfect, ur car look great like that, doesnt really need 2 be any lower. i think im gunna get them for xmas...depends on if i can wait..i wana get about $850 then get t'loc gears, SCT tuner and a pulley, sum hp.
thnks for the link tho, im goin with the C springs for sure, there a lot cheaper then most and its just the drop im lookin for

AtlanticBlue99 · September 17th, 2006, 04:18 AM

good deal. those wheels are nice btw. you dont see those around a lot. in fact, that is the first time i have seen them on a mustang- looks great on black

itschristorres8 · September 17th, 2006, 04:24 AM

lol thanks man. i was thinking bout getting the black bullits like yours, but i also liked the cobra r rim design so i couldnt choose n i saw these which kinda have the same look as the cobra r chrome rims but in black. i like how it came out tho. i get a lot more lookers then the stock rims. the gf loves it.
along with the springs i was thinkin bout getting black film over the lights in the back n front maybe..might be to much black but i can take them on n off
thnks for the compliment tho

AtlanticBlue99 · September 17th, 2006, 04:27 AM

yea dude. blackouts look good on black cars. so do smoked headlights though... kind of like the 01-04 headlights or like mine.

itschristorres8 · September 17th, 2006, 04:31 AM

yea they look nice! an ive thought bout it but its like $200 for lights tho isnt it?

itschristorres8 · September 17th, 2006, 04:31 AM

i also saw u had sumitomo, i was thinkin bout nitto but it was a $200 differnce. plus these are fine

AtlanticBlue99 · September 17th, 2006, 04:35 AM

my headlights were 139.99 from symmic off ebay.

i have sumito rear still (until they burn off this fall)
i currently have fuzion zri 275/40/17 up front and sumitomo htrz 315/35/17 rear

i am going with nittos in the rear when mine burn out

itschristorres8 · September 17th, 2006, 04:36 AM

oh i got 240/45 in the front i think and 275/40 in back...im pretty sure..thats wat mdv told me to get..or joe i think his name is, the guy who made the site

AtlanticBlue99 · September 17th, 2006, 05:03 AM

the reason i have such a wide rear is because i have a 10.5" wide rear wheel and stuffed the widest size to clear the wheel well and exhaust still. the skinnier front will be better for straight line. you will handle better with a wider front though

itschristorres8 · September 17th, 2006, 01:46 PM

mmm for now i like them how they are..i gave it a hard run on a abandon street and i had very lil spinning in 1st gear, an 0 the rest...with the old ones u used to spin a lil switchin to 2nd

3.9V6mustang · September 17th, 2006, 11:59 PM

hey man it looks gooood!!! way better then the stock rims!! yea deffinatly lower it and get some like black tint, would look cool!!! and paint ur calipers like blue or something!

itschristorres8 · September 18th, 2006, 12:08 AM

Im doing my brakes in 2 weeks cuz they get my rims dirty fast... and they need to go. when i do that im painting the calipers red...im getting black film over the rear lights n possible front lights lik ABs in about 2-3 months.
for christmas im lowering it. but my next step is more hp.
gears
tloc
XCAL and UD pulley. but wen i get the money for all of it then im gunna do that. which will be in 2months or less im hoping. i can get about $180-190 a week. but im tryin to get a job to add more to that.
my dad says he'd help me with installing the brakes an the disc and brake pads will cost me about $100.

If you worry about break dust, get some Hawk pads, but they cost about 100 bucks a pair. I use stock replacement pads at 30 bucks a pair and just clean my car when it gets dirty...

mdvaldosta · September 18th, 2006, 01:47 AM

Hell yea dude, those rims look badass

itschristorres8 · September 18th, 2006, 01:59 AM

lol thnks man

Replica R · September 18th, 2006, 03:40 AM

Hey are those the new, well maybe a couple of months old now, 95 deep dish cobra r's? Couldn't really tell from the pic. Looks very nice though, with the black on black. Oh and atlantic blue, I have hawk pads up front and they still leave some brake dust on the rims, and the ebc green stuff I have in the rear leave more than the hawks. Good stopping power though combined w/ the cross-drilled rotors I have.
