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.

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.

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.

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.
