It looks lowered, what suspension did you go with?

Ibach pro kit. Lowered close to 1.5 inches.
Cool, that's the one I was looking at, price I saw was around $700, is that close to what you paid? Did you do them yourself or have someone else install them, how much was labor?

There is a difference between the Eibach Pro-kit and the Eiback Pro-system. The Pro-Kit is only $249.99 and that is only the springs. That is all I am going to do to my car.

Johnny, I forgot to ask. How is the ride quality now? I used Eibach springs before but found that even the slightest crack in the road could be felt. I want to lower my car but I don't want to end up with a really rough ride.

I ordered 18x8 for the front and 18x10 for the back. The first set I received did not fit properly due to the offset. I am now getting a set with 5.75" backspacing for the front and 7.25" backspacing for the rear. I sure hope these are the right size as it is gonna take 6-8weeks before they arrive.

Edit: 255/45ZR18 on the front and 285/40ZR18 on the back. BFG of course. I am pretty sure Steal101 are the same size. Rims and tires are going to cost around $2,900.00 :notnice:

That's in Canadian $ right? Still a lot of money though.

Nope, that is american funds. After the exchange rate it will cost me about $3,575.00 Canadian. I am just going to cross the border and have them installed. If I order them in Canada I am looking at $4,735.00 after taxes.

yes, BFG Gforce TA KDW-NT (new tread). I have wanted them since I saw them on the concept car, and since good ol' FORD put them on the Canadian Brochure (pictured on the GT) and states that is what you get with the car, I want them , since FORD did not provide us with them.

I am looking at getting the KDW 2, just did a price check with the rims and tires that I want, and it looks like its gonna run me at $2850, gotta start saving up.

Looking at going with the Billet Magnum 500s, 18x8 in front and 18x9.5 in the rear. Who knows though, don't really have the money to buy right now, so I may change my mind.
