I think the Ultralite has a slightly more level stance based on the pics I've seen. I do think there is some variace but in general there will always be a rake. Mine has one from some angles and doesn't from others. I tried doing the rear springs only at first and hated the reverse rake I ended up with.
And then did you notice a big difference by adding the Roush fronts?

I can't really tell if I lost performance or not. I put a S/C on my car before I have even had my first oil change. 20's help with cornering since you are riding on more rim than rubber and the look is fantastic and I'm not really a track guy so I am content.

20 inch rims mean more unsprung weight, and they're more than likely very heavy. They're bad for perfomance plain and simple. Will you be able to tell? Probably not at stock power levels. When I made the downsize the ride got so much better.

I've been waiting forever to see what these look like. I'm very pleased! Well done!
When I was running 20's, I noticed braking was much worse during regular driving. Accelation wasn't noticeably affected but I would imagine you could tell on the track. The ride was definitely harsher and could use tighter shocks to handle the lower sidewall.
I noticed a bit with the rear only but not much. It was slighly harsher. The fronts make a bigger difference- not quite as smooth. I really wouldn't recommend doing the rears only- you'd be better off cutting a 1/2 coil of the stockers IMO.
Right on! I agree completely. As I said before, it isn't too noticeable except for the harsher ride and crappy braking.

Well, I finally decided to get the 18" FRPP Black Bullitts. I did a decent amount of searching and couldn't find anybody who was running these on a Satin Silver 
Anyways, here a crappy pic of them (didn't feel like to staying out any longer in the 20 degree weather). I'm happy with the way it came out, but might add a Ford Racing black rocker stripe.

Shelby CS69 and Nitto NTRD1
Just purchased a set of Shelby CS69 (18 X 9.5) wheels from 05stangkc and a set of 255/45ZR18 Nitto NTRD1 tires from Discount Tire Direct. Everything went smoothly with the purchase except DHL Indirect decided I only needed 3 wheels. DHL took about a week to finally get them out of the warehouse where it was being held hostage and shipped to me. Hopefully next week I shall have time to get them installed.

Very nice, can't tell from the picture but are those chrome?

Saleen PJ series limited edition
I found mine on ebay. 19x9 19x10 staeggered, 245/45/19 and 275/40/19 . 19" feels like it sits up a bit, and rides very nice.

Darkfire, I want you to take pics of my car. I can never get the pinks and oranges out of TR when I take pics. That stance is great, I love the meats.
