New shoes and socks for my five-oh
I had the ford racing rims and Nitto Invo's installed this morning.
285's rear and 255's up front. NOw she's starting to look like MY car.
Dual white stripes in 2 weeks. CDC performance grill (cobra style) on it's way.

I like the profile and how the car sits with these rims and tires. no need to lower.

Looks great, Darren! I have the same set-up, and I love 'em. I may even move up one tire size 265 / 295.

Eibach Pro-System-Plus-Kit (springs, dampers, sway bars), about $1k. Or Ford Racing Kit (includes the Eibach stuff, plus some more goodies), about $1.5k. Install will be about $300-$400 including front alignment. Lowers the front 1", the rear 1.5". Handles great afterwards.

Tough choice between Eibach or Ford. Decisions Decisions.

Nice...

You lasted 3 weeks? I had them on order before I even got the car. Stock 4 x 4 look is a big no-no.

yeah i see a nice difference in the Eibach setup. I may go that route next quarter using some bonus money. ON the flip side, in Calgary they build bloody awful driveway curbs and for now the extra clearance doesn't hurt lol
