Hey guys.

Just wanted to share some pics of the new (1 inch) spacers I had installed this weekend. Was a bit hesitant about them, given all the pros/cons I've read about, but given the perfectionist I try to be with her, I made sure to micromanage the install process to make sure both the spacers and tires were torqued to specs. Haven't really noticed a difference in the ride, but I'll keep you guys updated. The pictures really don't do justice to the look of her now, though.

Looks great. I'm waiting on my car to be delivered but have a set of spacers on hand and so ready to start with the project. Have you noticed any difference in any way of having them on yet. Great looking car and what a great stance

Sweet car - love the flag on the rear quarter glass.

Thanks, guys. I haven't noticed any difference while driving it. I can tell you that initially i was sort of cautious driving it, all kinds of "worst case" scenarios going through my head, but I did the check up at 130 miles, and the torque was on point. I took it for a cruise to Austin this past weekend with my local Mustang club and we went through a lot of several winding roads, and I could not tell the difference. The more I drove it, the more I lost that "worst case" scenario "fear". I am going to raise it up again tomorrow to check the torque again, as I drove over 500 miles during the Austin cruise, but as I visually inspect it, I don't see anything wrong with it nor do I feel anything different. Will update tomorrow after I recheck it.

I assume that the 1" spacers moved the wheels outward?
IIRC, doing that does put extra strain/load on the wheel bearings because of the extended leverage the spacers create.
Keep an eye on those bearings.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought wheel spacers were a last resort, when you can't get the correct offset & back spacing ??

What are your wheel specs?
