Phil's GT/CS project

For 2013
I had installed the Steeda shifter bushing (red), BMR Lower control arms, Roush rear fender splitters and tinted taillight LEDs.
After I get the TSB for the front LCAs done, I'm planning to get her lowered but maybe get a set of wheels and tires 1st.
I actually saw this on display, 20 x 10.5, and got that "need to have it" feeling in my gut.
What do you think?

They look similar to the CS wheels. I bet they'd look great

Those were the wheels I really wanted but cost too much for me. These are what I went with instead

I'm decided but maybe I'll get it next year. Now I'm back to lowering her 1st.

question about TSB

Nighthawk 13, you mentioned a TSB for LCA. If I am interpreting this correctly can you advise what Technical Service Bulletin is out on the 2013 Mustang GT/CS's Front Lower Control Arms.

Thanks.

Ken

Ken,
That's what I'll be telling them on Monday when i bring her in but the TSB states that they have to hear the noise. Right now I don't hear the noise yet since it's still about 10c here in Montreal. I'll post an update on Monday.

Phil

I brought the car in for the TSB on front LCAs and they ordered the part. TSB 12-8-24
This is good news since they were not squeaking this morning.

Vossens are so sick. That concave on 20s would look ridiculous

I saw the 20 x 10 on display and they really look amazing. Just like the price. :-)

Thanks. Busy week for my baby. Front LCAs to be replaced tomorrow. Thursday, she will be pampered by Mr. Suds who does wash, wax and polished. Friday, who knows. Vossens perhaps? ;-)

Upgrading or under warranty?

Yup. Under warranty since it's a TSB for 2013.

I just got the car back from the dealer. TSB for LCAs finally done.
I also ordered the Vossen CV1s to make sure I have them before May 18. Now to decide on tires. Should they be Falkens or M/Ts?
