Rims

So i was looking for 18inch bullett rims, i found a deal hard to pass up. pretty much brand new 17 inch bulletts with new tires for $400. So how low should i lower my car. I want it to look clean, also i dont want to lower it too much. How much was cobra's lowered? I know roush and saleen's have body kits to make it look lower than it actually is.
Also what are good prices and brands on lowering kits?
Thanks

depends on what kinda drop you want, eibach, frpp, and h and r, those 3 are good. eibach are pricier than the others, well except maybe h and r, but their all good

Did you get real bullets or the pony wheels from the 05+? I think the eibach lowers 1" and 1.5"

Is just getting lowering spring okay and will provide a good ride or should i get coil overs?

Also how much should i lower it front and back. guessing leave the back a little higher?

eibach pro kit - 1.5 inch drop all around thats all you need along with an alignment

you dont need coilovers, unless you plan on doin some major drag or canyon carving

dgt_mustang · September 4th, 2008, 12:24 PM

if they are off an 05 pretty sure youll need wheelspacers.

focus0frenzy1 · September 4th, 2008, 01:05 PM

how do i know if i need them or not?

00vabchgt · September 4th, 2008, 01:35 PM

the 05 wheels have different offsets than the 99-04. eibach and maybe some others make wheel spacers that will adapt to the newer wheels...
