first day of spring mods
 
temps are still bone chilling in michigan but i finally got my suspension and wheels installed. I went with Ford K Springs and Roush blue shocks/struts. These are the staggered AMR 20" wheels with 255/35/20 fronts and 305/30/20 rears. Ride quality is way better than I expected it to be. If I would have known it would have been this smooth, I would have dropped the car same day I got it. I was considering sportlines but glad I went with these, very happy w/the drop and clearance.

Nice location for the photo. Car looks great - but a sunny day would really help to brighten up the photo.

Love those rims man, ride looks amazing!

essque Mar 20, 2013 11:26 PM

thank you! yes, unfortunately we had sun today but a large cloud covered it right when i got to the spot i wanted to take the pictures at. will take more pics as it warms up, the springs settle and i finish a few more details.

appreciate the compliment! big fan of the rims too, i was pleasantly surprised at the weight and finish. only problem is that most center caps don't it so I'm going to have to get creative if I want to change them. thanks again.

looks great essque! my setup is getting installed this weekend and it's similar. Ford Racing K-series springs but it with FR shocks. i also got the charcoal AMR staggered setup but in 19". i sure hope it looks as good as yours.

Are those amr's black or charcoal? They look black but could be the lighting. I still haven't decided if I wanna go black or charcoal on my black '13. Looks sexy either way, nice stance now.

That looks soo good. I cant stress how much i prefer this over the 2013+ models.

essque Mar 21, 2013 03:05 PM

I'm sure it's going be a great set-up, make sure to post pics. I think most of the reviews I read on the k springs must have been from those running them on shock shocks/struts which led to a rougher ride. with the frpp shocks, it should definitely be compliant. i also went with gt500 strut mounts. going to get an alignment next week.

thank you good sir! i've been trying to tame myself from +13 envy (tails, gt500 duals, track app gauges, recaros etc) lol.

yeah thanks, they're the charcoal. i was really indifferent to the color, if they would have had silver I may have got those. because they were so cheap, i was considering having them painted something custom but the guys at my body shop said it would have been a shame to paint the factory color because it does look good.

Looks awesome! I'm running the same springs, wish I would have gotten 20s though!

my setup also came with GT500 strut mounts. actually, a bunch of Ford stuff together in a packaged deal -- K springs, FR shocks, and the strut mounts all from LMR. i figured it's a good way to keep everything "in the family" so to speak.

yeah, i saw they a smoking hot deal for the p springs and struts but i didn't know they had one going for the k springs. should be awesome. i got my roush struts brand new off craigslist for $170 otherwise I would have went with Koni SRT's most likely.
