I have the OEm bullitts on my car and I can't change them now becuase i just bought a new set of tires for them (so i wouldn't slide of the road and die, the econo car tires i had on the back before when i bought the car had NO TRACTION..my little 2V would spin through the first 2 girls no problem, and no smoke). I wanna lower my car, but i have 2 problems. 1. it looks like the 17x8s are kinda tucked in the fenders and for some reason i think if i lower it it'll look stupid (unless i get wheel spacers). 2. i think it might be lowered already, when i look at other stangs their RH looks much worse

Hey it's a roush wing, I didn't think it was too bad.
I like the saleens better, but I think I might add a few cobra parts.
The cobra wing seems subtle, but still adds a little something.

1low03 is running Eibach Sportlines I do belive.
That drop makes his car look really sharp.

Thanks! You're always so kind. I can't wait to drive it again. Right now we are in the middle of our second Blizzard in two weeks. Not driving to Denver today...

A drop is a MUST on the SN95. It will only look better. I think my sisters Explorer has less fender to wheel gap than a stock Stang. Rear spacers make it even better. Go for it .
