I must be confused by your statement as the Brembo Pkg. has always been manual only.

A pink center cap would be the bomb


Those look nice. What tires are you going with?

Is it just me, or is the fuel mileage for the 5.0 mixed up? I thought the manual was supposed to get better highway milage...

Well, if the wheels need a home I'd be happy to foster parent them for you until your car arrives...

Like I said in the pm be very careful with those 285's they will not clear the quarter. The offset of the wheel won't support a 285 if lowered

I am glad you like those and was able to get you to the right people

Thx for the offer Chris, they are now being sheltered at Ford440 in Laval while waiting for the tires to arrive, and car as well. Springs are in as well. I decided to go with the 1" drop, and if i don't like it, i'm changing to 1.5" . Exhaust is still undecided as of today. Want to see what Borla will come out with, maybe Dynomax as well. Magnaflow has a kit out, but i havent't heard it yet. Couple of cars got it installed around here. I still have to meet with one of these guys in person.

Shaun. i'm dropping the car 1", not 1.5", think it will make such a big difference. I'm not running Falken's either.
May have to call John again tomorrow, he never mentiionned anything about it.

There's no rush on the exhaust, though I do agree hearing them in person is the best way to know if you like the sound.

It's strange but I didn't think my GTA's would get louder as they aged but they have. I didn't think they were packed with anything. In any case, I really love how they sound now. I'm having a hard time getting the car ready to sell. Don't want to part with it, but I've already given up the renewal on my parking spot lease.

I know he didn't. I did. I put a tire that was the same width as a 285 and it rubs under full compression. 275's clear fine

I don't run falkens as well.

Good luck with that, what mag are you advertising the car in ? AutoHebdo.net, LesPAcs.com.
