Thanks for the tip about the panhard bar, I'll look into that.


Never gave up on classics hungrymonkey I just now got back into a position where owning one was a posibility on a few different levels I did buy a cheap awd talon to daily drive for a few years when the previous one burnt. It's not too shabby now, makes ~300awhp and runs 12.9s@110 on pump

I was wanting to put a set of FR500 w/anthrasite centers on my 1969 Fastback, what size are your rims, where you got them, I was looking at a set of wheels that are 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear 275/40-17, and 315/35-17 tires, what spacers did you use. I have Granada spidles and discs on front, 1985 Lincoln Continetal or MK7 discs on rear, rotors are all slotted and cross drilled

I gotta laugh, but in a good way, that you couldn't find $20-$30 worth of wheel studs that would work, so you spent a couple thou on new brakes. The funny part is that it makes perfect sense to me, and probably to everyone else on here.

BTW, the wheel-brake-tire combo looks awesome. I'm always saying to anyone who will listen that the big Stangs look great lowered with fat tires. You still need to take care of the lowering part, tho. (Here's my car, with some similar looking wheels, before I lowered it another inch)

I'm a sucker for better braking courtesy of my talon's setup.

Sorry for the late bump but I had a few pm's about the wheels and figured I'd post better pics. I finally got to take some day time pics. The brake kit still works great, the stopping power is incredible for a car this heavy.

And on an unrelated note, where can I find the weatherstripping for this back bumper? That crap drives me crazy
