15k mi / New wheels & tires
 

This is a dual-purpose post. First of all, I'd like to say that my Stang is a daily driver with 15k mi in just over 10 months. The car runs great and shifts great (yes, it's a manual). Been running Steeda's intake & tune since 1k mi, along with Barton shifter & bracket, CS front valance, GT500 axel-backs and Boston acoustics front speakers. This is my first Mustang and I absolutely love it.

Second, here is a pic of my new wheels & tires. I went with the Boss 302 Laguna Seca wheels and Continental ExtremeContact DW tires (255 on 19x9 in front and 285 on 19x10 in back). The factory Brembo wheels will remain my winter wheels with a set of Blizzaks on them.

I know, I know... it needs to be lowered. I'm thinking about it... I just don't want to sacrafice ride quality. I also have snow to consider (even though we lucked out this year). Any advice on what would work well on a vert? I know FRPP has a vert-specific kit.

Thanks,

Good looking car! Great choice on wheels! Not sure about the suspension questions though. Im running Eibach Pro-Kit Springs and GT500 Track Pack shocks and Struts and the ride is pretty stiff. Just the Eibach springs however are supposed to work very well with our cars. You pretty much can't go wrong with the FRPP, or Roush kits.

Car looks great! Where on the island are you from?!? Lol.

As far as suspension, I you get yourself a set of Steeda springs you will maintain great ride quality. Maybe even better then stock. Couple with a set of koni shocks/struts you'll be set!

I live in Long Beach, but that's not where the pic was taken. And you?
