Yea I was going for the 2010 ones but I found a guy that got his gt500 converted into a supersnake. He only put about 200 miles on these rims with brand new Goodyear F1s. Got them for $750. Couldn't pass that deal up

Yes, the GT 500 spoiler mounts in the same holes, very easy swap.

Steeda sport springs along with their shocks and struts... the stance and ride is perfect only a 1" drop and is great for daily driving.. check out I think november or Octobers 5.0 magazine they use the whole set up in an article and test it with Shelby replica wheels.... if your going to buy them buy the entire kit unless your buying each component for really cheap because in the end you will probably spend more oppose to buying the full kit at a discounted price.... I also just bought the steeda bumper and ill let you know a few months how the drop is with that bumper...

Also bought the lower control arms and if u decided to do a 3rd link go with an adjustable 3rd link

Does it ride nice and smooth like coil overs or does it bottom out when you hit bumps as whatnot
