I finally got around to getting my rims and tires put on...

Before:




After:






Now I'm looking at suspension upgrades. My goals are fairly simple. Nice, tight handling for daily use, with limited (if at all track use). I'm still amassing all the parts I want. So far I have a GT Takeoff rear w/4.10s, Procharger P1SC w/10PSI, Mac Ceramic LTs, Prochamber, Boom Tubes & GT Sways.....all sitting on a pallet in my garage. I'm more than likely going to install of this within the next month or two (except the takeoff rear). While I do that I'm looking at picking up some suspension upgrades to finish off my 2012 car purchases (next year the front end will be finished off 'hopefully').

I'm looking at picking up the following:
Vogtland Springs
Tokico DSPs
BMR Adjustable Rear Upper Control Arm - Poly Bushing
BMR Rear Upper Control Arm Mount
BMR Rear Lower Control Arm Relocation Brackets
BMR Lower Control Arms
Adjustable Panhard Bar
3.5" Alum Drive Shaft w/Safety Loop

What I wanted to ask from the gurus here was if all of these upgrades are warranted for a car that may see track use two or three times in it's life. If I was going to be at the track all of the time i'd probably need what I listed and more, but that's not the cae. Any insight you guys could offer would be great. Thanks!

 

thats a good looking convertable, honestly its the only one ive seen that ive liked so far! keep it up!

 

you should black out your lights

 

Thanks for the compliment. On my pallet of part awaiting install I have a set of smoke tails by Raxiom, smoked side markers and smoked turning lenses. They'll go on after I do my exhaust and install the GT500 rear bumper I have.

 

I really love a white stang! Sometimes I wish I would have waited and found one instead of going with mine. There are so many choices in rim color etc you can do. Your car looks great!

 

hey now, you liked mine.

 

First step, they are WHEELS and tires.

 

STML!!!

 

Please keep the douchbaggery to a minimum & if you can't please try to make sense when you post.

Thanks,
Management

 

I always thought a wheel was composed of a rim and a tire

 

Technically, the rim is just the outer part of the wheel, the wheel is the entire metal part and the tire is just the rubber part. A wheel and tire assembly is teh whoe wheel and tire put together on your car.

 

we're really discussing semantics regarding wheel vs rim??? I can guarantee anyone that's not a troll knew what I was talking about.....besides that in my original post I was asking for advice on suspension upgrades, not questions about my rims(and yes I'm still going to call them rims). I surely did not ask for anything from Captain Correction....who by the way could use some help from General Grammar.

 

^ burn!

 

I totally feel your pain on this. I tend to avoid forums where you cannot post anything without some douche thread jacking for the sake of doing so. Unfortunately that seems to be the trend on this board as well.

 

Hey Topless Stang...ride looks good. Hopefully someone with some more in depth suspension knowledge can jump in, but I can say that when I did mine, I went with Roush springs, shocks, struts and front/rear sway bars. I debated doing the control arms and panhard bar as well, but the guys at Roush told me they thought just the above would be enough for me and I'm very happy with the setup. I haven't tracked mine yet...might do so in the future, but mainly wanted to improve the handling as much as possible, while still maintaining day to day drive-ability. Just my experience in case it helps at all.
