The pics arent great and the rubber looks a little grey since I din't put any dressing on them but the rims look good. They are 18x9 & 18x10 black chrome FR500's with 275/35/18 nitto 555r's up front and nitto 305/35/18 drag radials out back.
 
Thanks I appreciate it, I really think they make the car look a little different than your average GT. I just need to paint my rear calipers to match my front bullitt brakes.
Nothing average looking about that GT :nice:
That thing is purdy! :drool:
Love the color, love the Roush body, love the wheels. Car is sick looking :hail2:
 
Yeah, 1.5 is the drop. I have the Sports from Steeda with a 2" drop. Sometimes I really wish for the extra half inch :(

yeah even with the 1.5 drop my roush mufflers hit everything, its a lovely sound when you hear stainless steel scrapeing against concrete.:bang:

So should I get 1.5 or 2. Does your car hit speed bumps with the 2" inch drop? With the 2" do I need CC plates?

With any drop you need CC plates. And yes, my car hits speed bumps. The lip of my garrage that is onlt 1" high is getting nice and rounded from my H-pipe hitting it :(
You know how alot of lowered cars eat the inside of their front tires quickly? Thats because they have too much negative camber, thats why you need the CC plates. Also a bump steer kit is a real good idea as well. Also with a 2" drop you will want to get the X2 balljoints and mabey offset rack bushings. I have all that and my car never darts when I hit bumps :nice:
