Looks hot! I just got my set of black 20" bullitts in the other day. After seeing your car I'm glad I made that choice.

I did'nt use the whole handling pack. I just upgraded bushings to urethane.
OK, this thread is going to cost me.

Where can I get these exact springs. Does anyone have a link or know if there's an identical Eibach kit?

I've got the same springs along with ford racing struts/shocks. I heard that Eibach makes the springs but not 100% sure.

Sweet. Well please, please, please PM me w/ a thread showing pics of your car both before and after the new wheels. I'd much appreciate it. My next paycheck's gone already.

That looks awesome, very clean and uncluttered. Please don't add rocker stripes! It looks great the way it is. They'll just clutter it up IMHO.

Dammit, 18s or 20s? I still can't decide which I like best

Both the 20s and 18s are sweet, but I'd go with the 18's for less rotational mass, and more power to the street!

I had 18"s factory fanblades and my 20" are actually less in diameter than my stock ones, wider and are lighter.

Stock 18" : 255/50/18 Diameter: 27.3"

20" : 255/35/20 Diameter: 27"

Its all in the tire size and how you play the game. Yes, you can put smaller tires on smaller wheels to have less rotational mass but who wants there car running on a 20 or 30 series? I sure don't. I like for my wheels and tires to feel up the fenderwells. If I had 18"s they would be just about the same hieght and probably a little narrower. Heres a nifty tire calculator:

I have the exact same set up as GAGT 20" Bullits 8.5" all around(But I'm going to upgrade to 10.5" for the rears) and tire size. Rides not that good but looks are awsome. They dont look as big in person, or as big as 20's should look. Theres a thread where someone used series 40 tires instead of 35 and it looks equally good. And a MUCH nicer ride he says.

Wow. Nice car!



I would probably get a size or two bigger in the tires. I have 275/35/20 Nittos on mine. Mine is also a 9" rim though. The price of the tires can also increase dramatically between a single size and make it not worth it for some people.
