I like! You've got just enough of a black accent going on for the exterior to compliment the car without it getting crazy or ugly.

What kind of suspension are you going with? That car is begging for a drop!

Lol Thanks!

Im going with Eibach springs, shocks and struts. BMR rear upper and lower control arms & adj. panhard bar.

Still not sure on what kind of caster/camber plates, i was thinking, maybe the maximum motorsports?

Umm, yeah. Because Ford split spoke wheels look just like them, right? I guess they're both black. Nevermind the fact that they are different shapes, different designs, and available in different sizes, different backspacing, etc, etc.





RLz, that car's sweet. I like what you've done and welcome to TMS.

Not sure if you've done it, but just know that the Eibach Pro Kit will lower your car about 1.3 to 1.5 inches front and rear. That may not seem much, but that is pretty significant, I was a bit surprised when I got my Eibach's done and how low it sat. If I had to do it again, I would probably go with the .75 drop that H&R has which will still get ride of the ugly gap and would provide better handling than stock.

I live in Atlanta and roads here are for the most part pretty smooth so I'm ok with the drop and the 20's I bought a few months ago. I used to live in NJ/NY and just remember roads being in bad shape, so something for you to consider....

not a fan of red cars but with the black wheels/tint it looks bad @ss

if your going to hotlink an image, mine as well provide a link to them.

i love the look of those Foose wheels. what do they weigh? been thinking of upgrading from torque thrust style to lighter racing wheels but i don't like the styles.
