Definitely looks very good, thats an awesome rideheight.

Is there any reason you chose that combination? Why not H&R SuperSports all around or Steedas all around?

I think the HR's are too low in the front and present scraping issues and the Steeda's are higher in the rear and don't look the same all the way around. Just what I read, I must admit it looks great and I will be getting the same setup now that I know that you can buy them in pairs.Thanks Eddy for the info and pics.

BBS RK Wheels...read the thread:p

They are light as hell too...18lbs rear and 17lbs. front...they also come in a Plasma Finish(Dark Chrome)...

You know the FR500 original wheels were BBS..maybe thats why they are so similar..I always thought that too.

Personally, I always felt thet 2-3 fingers gave the best results...4-5 for a 17 year old was a bit excessive...don't you think????

haha... the whole fingers and girls thing is getting me weak... the pictures look awesome... I would like to lower mine with h&rs but I'm afraid of scraping issues... I would like to lower it evenly all the way around. the front is a bit too low for me, knowing where I have to drive to and from.

Car looks great. What rate springs did you buy and where did you get them from?

Sorry man. It just hit me when I saw the pictures and I thought you guys would find it funny. Didnt mean to steal any thunder from the thread. I too am in the market for a spring setup. I just cant decide. Every time I think I have I read or see something different.

Looks great!:thumbsup:

But please, put something in the spot where the mustang used to be in the front. It looks as though something is missing and has broken off(looks tacky). The front of your car would be perfect with the mustang put back in.:beer:

Just spray paint the mustang mounting brackets black so they aren't so visable. Then it will look good IMO. But maybe I'm biased(check avatar).:thumbsup:

Eddie: Thanks for taking the time to post the pics.

Nice job showing just what they look like...the finger idea and different angles were VERY helpful!

Spring rates are 650 lbs in the front and 680 lbs in the rears.

Horse is missing because a buddy of mine replaced his retro looking horse on his 00 GT with a mach 1 grill delete and my old running horse. In it's place will be a cobra eblem that I'm waiting for.

Tires are 285/35/18 michelin pilots in the rears and 245/40/18 michelin pilots in the front.
