Getting lowered in two weeks but thought I would share for now. Tunerworks came thru for me again as these look amazing....pics don't do them justice.

Nice Monster Truck!

j/k, looks good and I will always love the sound of a V8 mustang.

Looks good. Love the license plate. I have a soft spot for bright, shiney wheels though so my next set will be silver, even though I currently have black wheels myself.

Love these Mustangs with stand-out colors (i.e: Grabber Blue & Competition Orange) and black wheels to go with them :thumbsup:

Plate's great too haha.

Looks sharp :thumbsup:

Isn't the factory suspension quite good on the Boss aside from the ride height? Aren't you worried about negatively affecting the handling of the car by lowering it by putting the suspension out of geometry :dunno: Or are you doing it right i.e. coilovers, new spindles, rack spacers....?

OP, have you considered going with an old school rake stance?

Personally, I think this sort of a look would suit your car much better :dunno:

Maybe I'm the weird one, it just kills me to see muscle cars lowered like imports :burnout:

I think it would be interesting twist on a classic style to have those new wheels but with a raked stance :drool:

Just my opinion & suggestion dude, it's his car at the end of the day.

I think it would be much more unique. Especially in Calgary where everyone and their dog is slammed :dunno:

I don't hate the look, but it's just not my taste. :dunno:

Maybe a regular GT but this isn't the sort of thing you would do to a Boss 302 which is the best handling Mustang ever. I hate the wheel gap but on one of these cars I would be worried about even upsetting the handling balance from the factory with lowering springs.

Dont worry I am getting Ford approved Steeda Boss 302 specific spring that lowers the front .2 inches and only .7 to .8 in the rear. Everybody on the Boss forums says it reduces nose diving on braking and they get slightly better lap times.

I was very worried since it handles so amazing out of the box and did not want to risk messing the with the balance.

It will just make the car less 4x4 in the rear but retain the rake look and amazing handling. I dont even need a panhard bar or an allignment with the springs according to all the shops that have been installing them.

.2" and .7" drop will look amazing I think.

Great lookin ride:thumbsup: Is it worth messing with the stock suspension on these for anything other than looks?

Fantastic looking car. And I am so not a Ford guy.

I've always found, however, that all-black wheels look smaller than they really are. 20's look like 18's, 17's look like 14's....
