either way you go it will look better if you lower the car. putting 18 inch wheels will not give you the lowered look.

Dropping your car is cheap if get cheap stuff. The normal good drop with spring, struts, shocks, quad shocks, and labor will hit your about $800-$1000 dollars.
The Y2K rims you can pick up for $600 dollars and the tires for about $500 dollars.
My personaly opinion would be to get rims. You might still looking like a 4x4 but owell you'll get springs sooner then later.

Indeed, the same car with bigger rims but without a drop looks even worse. It just shows off that 4x4 look even more. 
GoBabyVroommm - You don't need quad shocks. If you get new control arms, you can take the things off too.
I have mine lowered with H&R Supersports, and I must say that the car's stance is absolutely
It even makes the stock Bullitt's look pretty badass. It's just that the rear end looks a little narrow since the rims tuck in a inch or two from the fender. You could cure that with some wheel spacers.
Or some 18" deep dish Bullitts................

you really need both. you can't lower your car enough on 17's without hurting your handling. lower the car 1.5-1.75" and then get 18"-19" and you will have perfect. I have 20" wheels and it still does not look low. it is kind of a coin toss on which you do first. I did wheels just becaue I was sick of seeing cars like mine with the same wheels.

The loss in performance is SO SMALL, you won't even notice it. Going 18 x 9.5 2000 Cobra R's only netted me a loss of approximately .2 in the quarter, although you would need a good set of drag radials out back, because the larger the rim, the more traction you give up, as far as straight line performance is concerned.

I lost 2 MPH due to my bigger rims, got it back (and more) from my x pipe though. I need to lower my car, definately do both if you canKaPPaBaLL said:
thanks, i love yellow mustangs. i am still regret that i didn't buy mine in yellow~B7~ said:
Thanks, i have been driving with it and 1.5' drop for almost 2 years without any problem. Just be careful when driving over speed bump. On the other hand, it's made from urethane which makes it flexible to resist curb impact damage. If u like the look, just get it. i got comment everywhere i goSnarf said:
