Pony express: The car handles great. Slightly better then stock. Ride is slightly stiffer also but not by much.

Bhead32: The brake caliper kit comes with a spray cleaner / prep, paint, hardener
to mix with paint before application and a brush. I used this same product on my
black '99 Cobra. Looked as good 4 years later when I sold it as it did the day I
painted them.

I agree, MCGT. If I were to put them that is the color I would go with or even
1 shade lighter.
I was thinking the same thing. 1 shade lighter would be perfect

Thanks, Guys.

The 'Eject' and 'Pony' lighters came from www.MGWLTD.com. They are the
chrome finish.
Thanks for the link. I ordered me a pony lighter and a dipstick handle!!

Car looks great. Maybe a little too much ride height in back, but it's just about perfect.

Those wheels look like SSR GT3s, but much MUCH cheaper. Wow.

Thanks, I would like it a little lower in the rear .. maybe 1/2 inch. Sits slightly
lower with a full tank of gas. The SSR GT3's were my first choice but cost was
three times higher. I must have looked at hundreds of wheels. Everytime I found
a wheel I liked they were tither the wrong offset or the wrong size or
cost too much etc. I flipped over these wheels when I found them, especially for the price.

Great mods, love the wheels!! Do agree you need larger diameter rotors and I wouldn't do the stripes. Just my $.02

do you have any pics close up front straight out front to see how the wheels line up with the sides of the car?

By the way, they look great, what bolt pattern are they, 5-114.3?

This is the closest pic to your request that I currently have ... I can take more over the weekend ...

Amazing how many people think the wheels are 18" when seeing the car in person. And I was afraid 19" wheels would look too big .. The wheelwells on this
car are just huge!

19's seem to be the best size you can get for this mustang. there is just so much space in the well that 19's do a good job of filling it up. very nice red calipers go perfect with the car

Looks awesome. The tires arent as Low Profile as I'd thought they'd be. Heck, if desired one could add a tiny bit more sidewall to those 19's to have a tight fit.

Thanks. Yes, I think a slight drop 1/4 - 1/2" front and 1/2 - 3/4" rear would make it look just about perfect. I just think eibach, steeda etc might drop it more than
that and I definately don't want it look "down in the weeds."

OK. I'm cunfused. (as usual)
Don't the 245/45/19's give you the same diameter as the stock 235/55/17's?
Wouldn't the wheel well gap be the same for both tires since the diameter was the the same?

I love those red calipers... the rims looks great, especially for 19s. The 'EJECT' lighter is too funny
