I recently got done putting some Eibach Sportlines on my 97 GT. I left all of the rear ISOs in and am running none up front. I spent all day cleaning up the car today. I think it turned out pretty nice. It is pretty much unmolested and all original. It is a high miler, at 129,000 miles, but in my opinion doesn't show it at all. Heres some pics

The interior




The motor... pretty much stock!



How it looked before being lowered...




And... AFTER!!!












I have some black 18x9/10 FR500s coming in a few days. I will try them out and stick with either the 03s or the FR500s, depending on which ones I like better. Let me know what you guys think of the car!!!

Thanks! I wish it was a shifter, but it's just a spare knob I had laying around. That's one of the next things on my list. It's amazing to go from a stock shifter to the stiff clutch and my MGW in my coupe. The stock shifters SUCK!

Thanks guys. Yea I can't see why Ford jacked these cars up as much as they did. It was hideous! The wheels are just 17x9s all around with 235/45/17 Nexen N3000s front, 275/40/17 N3000s out back with a 9/16'' spacer.

I'm on the edge of which wheel I like the best. I don't know what I like better!

I got the FR500s on a few days ago. I have been driving it a little bit since then and I do know one thing... I need to invest in some struts! The 130k milers aren't liking the Eibachs too much...
