The wheels were $1200 and the tires were $1000 totaling $2200

I guess if you want to really sharpen things further, you may want to consider the following:

1. Painting the brake calipers
2. Slotted/drilled rotors
3. Hawks Ceramic pads

I believe another member here has also suggested 2 and 3. The ceramic pads are suppose to really keep the brake dust down......the slotted/drilled rotors look awesome....and painting the calipers will definitely enhance the look....I think red would look sweet on your colour combo

Here's a question: Is there a possibility of ABS sensor problems with having your rears 1" larger in diameter?

I am already working on all of these things. Instead of painting the brake calipers I ordered a set of MGP caliper covers painted Vista Blue G9. Hopefully I like them. I have not seen any stangs with them on so I think they will be pretty unique, I hope. If I don't like them I will paint them Red or Black.
As far as the rotors I am probably going with the EBC slotted rotors. I was going with the Baer Eradispeed 14 in rotors but Just don't really want drilled rotors. If they were slotted I would be all over them.

The pads are also on their way not sure if I am going to go with Hawks or EBC reds,any opinions on these?

I have no personal use of the ebc reds. I havent had any peoblem with the hawk ceramic pads that i have though. As far as the MGP covers i didnt get my painted vista blue to match mine. I just left them black. I like the way the look but i havent seen blue ones like you are planning on getting. Should look pretty good.

Yeah I really like them with the Vista blue. If my stripes would have been silver I probably would have gone with a set of hyper silver wheels.

I don't think so and I never really thought about it when making the decision. There are so many people running larger rear tires even up to 28.68" which are 315/35/20 I think there would have been some talk about it already.

I wasn't talking about the 20" wheels, I was talking about the tires being an inch larger in diameter in the rear (28.1") versus the fronts (27").

Just wondering if the ABS sensor would read a different number of revolutions in the rear than the front and activate inappropriately. I don't know how the Mustang's ABS sensor works - perhaps each axle is independent?

I installed a set of MGP caliper covers to cover my brakes. They just about eliminate all brake dust and in my opinion, look great. Check em out

Thanks for all of the compliments guys. It is a work in progress and I am having a blast. The last mustang I had I was in college and did not really have the time or $$$ to do any mods and mess around with the ride. I will post more pics as I continue to add things

Hey looks really nice I just love our cars in Vista Blue. Do you have any plans for suspension work? I think that would really set it off.

You are going to love the Eibach setup Did you get the pro kit or the sport lines? Did you get an adj rear panhard bar? If not I would suggest it because my rearend was way off I have the BMR panhard bar
