2015 + Aftermarket Rims + Exhaust + Springs. Questions

ChadS98GT · Jun 30, 2015

Hi guys I'm hoping to get back in to a mustang relatively soon but I've been out of the game for about 10 years.

I will pretty much stick to bolt on mod's and I'd love to hear some feedback of what people are using in the 2015s and what the better brands are these days.

I would love some help answering some of these questions and if anyone has pics of their cars or some of your favorites to share examples of what I'm looking for that would be great!

My mod list.
Springs or coilovers to lower the car. I like a borderline slammed look. What is common?
aftermarket wheels and tires. What is the largest common size rim, and how big of tires can I fit in back without doing modification to bolts/fenders etc..
Exhaust. Headers, Back. I would likely keep a high flow cat on there as I don't want to mess with emissions. My previous mustangs had a Bassani O/R X pipe with magnapacks. I loved that sound...
Shifter -

What else should I consider?

I appreciate any feedback and pictures you guys can provide!

Im doing springs with subframe bushings and vertical links at the same time to hopefully elimiate wheel hop. Im looking into the blowfish racing shifter bracket. Its cheaper than a short shifter and retains the stock throw length. It has great reviews. As for exhaust, I currently have MRT H pipe and Roush axlebacks. Love the sound very aggresive but nice idle and cruising tone. Little drone. This setup with headers might sound to raspy for me so I would swap out the mufflers maybe Magnaflows or Borla S type when I install LTs. Im wondering the same thing about wheels and tire size.

I personally like the Steeda sport springs that I recently installed, they lowered the car 1" and the car still rides very well. I originally bought Eibach sportline springs and decided that I didn't want to lower the car almost 2"'s. There isn't a coil over kit available for theses cars so scratch that off the list . As far as the exhaust goes, I like my Magnaflow Competition cat back for not only the sound but the performance. We picked up 10rwhp with only the installation of the catback!
Wheels and tires: I have 20x10" wheels with 275/35/20 Mickey Thompson rubber all the way around my car and love the way it looks and fits. I have seen several people running 10.5 and 11" back wheels and rubber as wide as 325/30/20 with no reported issues. I like the availability of rotating my tires; hence the square sizing for me. Headers, I'm looking at the stainless works headers personally but haven't pulled the trigger on the yet.
Shifter- I have no useful info on, I have an automatic
This was before and after lowering the car. I'm waiting for some better weather here in NJ to be able to get some more pictures:

I forgot about wheel hop. I suspect I should add a few of those items while I'm in doing springs to help reduce the wheel hop. I will check out the MRT stuff. Thanks!

is H&R in the spring game with mustangs? good to know on the coilovers. That is some nice HP gains from just catback. Are you wheels stock? I definitely will be doing a wider tire out back, If I can get 315's I'm happy. I've heard good things of the stainless works stuff. At this point though I plan to do at most a mid pipe, and cat back.

Your car looks nice. I think I would want it a little lower but it's hard to tell. Post up some new pics when you have time!

H&R is taking their sweet old time with development, they are coming at some point just not available as of yet.
The wheels are not stock, the 18's from the factory are long gone and didn't make it past the first week or two of me owning the car.

As far as being low, maybe it's me getting older? I originally bought the sportlines and last minute changed my mind, I still have them and would cut someone a good deal on them if anyone was interested.

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?
