xtremes10 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 So I have my minor mod list so far, it stands at: Eibach pro kit lowering springs BMR lower control arms Adjustable pan hard bar FRPP CAI Bassani SS Race Axle backs So here is my next round of stuff coming soon: Ford 3.73's Metco upper pulley / idler setup Tuner/Tune *In the air: Kooks LT's and O/R X pipe Finally my last step will be the wheels... I am looking at 18 or 19's I really like a simple clean 5 spoke, looking at CCW, 360 Forged, and True Forged wheels... any other suggestions? It doesn't have to be a 5 spoke I'm open to suggestions, also up in the air is porting the supercharger... what do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s code mach Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I just got my Shelby CS69 wheels today, super sweet looking. these are the perfect wheel in my opinion, not only are they Shelby brand but they're the closest thing to a Magnum 500 you're going to find. my '69 Mach 1 has Magnums and what better wheel could a retro look Mustang have. If I can figure out how to post some pictures I'll do it in a couple days when they're on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USBlueStage2 Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 List looks good. How do you like the Eibachs? With respect to wheels, I would focus not only on looks but on weight/performance. JongBloed and Volk Racing (RE30) make wheels for the GT500 that weigh only 17-18 lbs each. That's a weight savings of 10lbs per wheel. Since the weight is unsprung, its like taking off over 200 lbs. Add some two piece rotors, and you're talking 15lbs per wheel! (There are many more options in the 22-23 lb category, and you'd still be saving about 5 lbs per wheel.)

I feel the ride is actually better now with the Eibach and I am extremely happy with the looks and the stance that they have on my car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
