Got some new wheels! Shelby CS66
Got some new wheels! Shelby CS66
So my plan for now is getting ready for car show season. I bought the car in November stock and have been working on the exterior since. I picked up a set of Shelby CS66 20" wheels in anthracite. 20x9 fronts and 20x10 rears. Planning on getting some 255/35zr20 for the front and 285/30zr20 for the rear. All I need now is a drop. What would be the best spring for the drop? The roads around here aren't the best so I'm just looking to fill in the fender gap. My car is a daily driver that will have basic bolt ons.

Tango - your car is really really nice. I love Grabber Orange. Not sure why that color is not continued. Makes it more special for you. Those new wheels are simply gorgeous. You must post pics when you install them. As for springs, you have a lot of choices: SR, Eibach, H&R, Steeda, Ford Racing, and more. Make sure the drop is subtle, (maybe 1"front - 1.5"rear - max), otherwise any more than that and you will affect the handling and other suspension components in a negative way. Since yours is for show, and not really for performance, you should have more choices. Look around on this TMS forum for input, there are a couple suspension sponsors on here, and you can call American Muscle for assistance (they are on here, too, Dan & Shane).
SWEET wheels buddy!! I'm a Shelby Wheel customer too (I got CS67s on my 2006), and they are still ome of my favorite mods still to this day!! Its even better as very few cars have Shelby Wheel Company wheels on them, so it makes my car different that the rest. Be sure to post some pics of your car after they are on.
Well good news. I finally got in touch with the guy that has the tires I've been looking at locally. Used set of Dunlop Sports Max 255s and 285s for $200. Going to get them tomorrow and hopefully mounted by Friday. I will have to go out of my little town to a wheel shop because I'm pretty sure Walmart won't mount a 10" wide 20. Wouldn't trust them with it anyways.

I did the 1.5 inch drop with the Ford Racing K-springs , over 4 years ago and still love the feel and look , no rubbing at all ,
