I am so envious.
Please report back with driving impressions. I'd like to know how well they ride a setting that still offers good handling.
Thanks, Mike

What size up front? Can't tell from the pics, unless I missed it, or did you go square? The time look different width wise and one said 20x11
Wheels are custom ordered Forgestars with:
20x9.5(35 Offset) 275/35/20
20x11(54 Offset) 315/35/20
Great thread. You have come a long way with this car looks great.
Just re-read my note...cant type on the dang cell phone! glad you were able to decipher what I asked. Although my set up was originally intended more for street/straight line, I started to want more of a track feel with the same type of straight line power.
I have similar forgestars, but smaller front tires. With my (Hotchkis) adjustable sway bars and fat DR's in the rear, I get some front end slide when cornering. Someone told me to take a little (stiffness) out of the front sway and it would reduce the "push". I was thinking a little more front tire (wider) would help solve my issue. Sorry for the questions here but you seem to have a solid handle on suspension and thought to ask
BTW - It looked great with the Black/Black but I can see if everyone has them you want to be different. The new set up looks great too!!!

The suggestion with taking some stiffness out of the front sway is a good one. The Mustangs benefit from this because it does allow you to put a bit more power down to the ground. A little more tire could help too, but then again you are adding more weight and mass to the already heavy front end. The Forgestar setup I have put on the car, for me, is strickly for the street. I run a square 18x10" setup with full race Continental Grand Am tires for the track
Post some pics with the new wheels. I have flat black Forgestar F14's, 20x9/20x11 coming Friday. Nitto Invo's 275/45 & 315/35.
This is an awesome thread. I'm glad I found it.
You are pretty good at building really cool brackets lol

Thanks for the reply.
Is the reside suitable for a daily driver?
I'm looking at going the same route but want something that handles as well as my current setup but with a better ride.

When you say the same route, what are you talking about, and what would you like the feedback on? Wheels and tires? Coilovers? All of it?
