Two in one post here. First off what kind of wings are there to add to a 95 GT that are almost like a ducktail built in look. I want it to look flush to the car but ducktails kinda in the back. I hate the stock spoiler because it is so noticeable. Im looking for a wing that looks built into the car and contours good with the body lines. Ive heard that the saleen and Kaenen spoiler are the ones that are closest to that description. Please post up photos if you can.

this is kinda what im looking for.



Second question is what is the lowest spring i can buy for my 95? I have 17 inch Cobra R's so it needs to be lowered quite a bit to look right. I was going to get einbach sportlines but maybe theres a better route. Post up some photos too if you have some

Thanks for the help!

eibach sportline is the way to go, unless you wouldnt mind running coilovers...

as far as the spoiler, the saleen s281 spoiler is pretty much the go-to spoiler... my suggestion, stay clear of the actual saleen one and try and purchase the s281 one from kaenen... better design... its a 4 bolt system that drops right into the existing holes where as saleen is 2 bolt and double sided tape...

I have both. kaenen is fiberglass and they are thick! so it will weigh about the same as stock spoiler. Saleen one is a lot lighter. When you put them on kaenen is cleaner due to fiberglass being cleaner finish. Saleen wing no matter what you do will have some kind of "Wave" due to being urethane. but they both are the same. kaenen sits little higher then original saleen on the trunk. saleen wing is flatter. Just letting you know.

Far as springs go i went with 95 cobra R springs from ford racing and steeda x2 ball joints. They sit really low(if you do not use spacers like i did) if you have convertible you will not clear the drive in lift or drive though car wash due to the under brace(better because they will have to be hand washed). But it really handles great VS stock. i dont know if ford racing still carry them tho.

There is a group buy thread in the TALK section here for the 281 wing:

http://forums.stangnet.com/755449-another-281-wing-group-purchase-thread-3.html#post7568098

$150 plus shipping. Im ordering mine this week. These are Kaenan as described above. I wish I did this the first time I changed wings.

Good luck!

i wouldn't go much lower than the eibach sportlines. they tend to lower the car enough to scrap on just about everything. pro-kit lowers it enough IMO. head on over to the talk section stickys at the top. theres one of just pictures, peruse on through that to get an idea.

That's funny looking saleen wing. It's looks cool. but i'd stick with normal S281 wing. "The prototype" looks funny from the back.
