2003 Cobra AFS Wheels. All of them are 17x9 with 275/40-17 BF Goodrich G-Force KDWS tires.

I have to get this thing lowered though, I hate the 4x4 look.

Looks great. I love those Black Stangs. After you get rid of the 4X4 look get the windows tinted.

Looks VERY nice! I really like how clean they look. Is that your daily driver? If so stick the olds ones back on through the winter so that good ol' winter salting in Chicago don't ruin 'em. Looks aweasome!

Why is lowering the car bad for the track?

My other wheels got ruined when I swerved to avoid hitting a deer and I hit the curb. The wheels are mangled pieces of aluminum.

If the car is slightly higher, and you "PUNCH IT", it is easier for the weight to go from the front to the back, increasing down force on the back wheels and getting better traction. (picture a see-saw, the higher up one side is, the easier it will be to drop that side down faster when the person low to the ground springs up) This is what guys mean when they talke about "weight transfer" That is the whole concept behind suspension mods for better times.

The lowered car handles and corners better tho, which is not a factor on a straight 1/4 track. Ther are springs tho that lower the car and are made for racing.

Good luck
RC
