LIGHTNING BLUE S550 MUSTANG Thread

I like your drop in the front better. I'm a bit disappointed in how little the GT350R springs dropped the front...the rear of mine looks perfect, like yours. I may have to get the new version of the BMR handling springs that closely match the spring rate of the GT350R fronts (will balance perfectly, spring rate wise, like it does now) but hopefully more of a drop...gotta talk to Kelly. If you look at this pic, you can clearly see that the front has a bigger gap...annoys me no end...and I have suspension noise after putting all that's in my sig on and I haven;t had a chance to take it back again (3rd time)...maybe when I talk to Kelly he will take my two almost new RLCA's for labor, take a day off, and drive to BMR and have them look at it.

I didn't really notice the lack of drop in your front. If you want a bit of drop but not too much, the BMR 089 is perfect IMO. Minimal drop (about 3/4" to 7/8"..). I was a bit weary when I changed out the wheels and went with 285/35's 19's on the front, as they are a bit smaller in diameter than the stock tires, and didn't want too much gap, but happy with them now.

Looks great! What sizes did you end up going with?

Thanks! I went with 19 x 11's on the rear w/ 305/35/19's. 19 x 10's on the front with 285/35/19's . I wanted to keep my overall tire diameters as close as possible to the stock PP tires.

I was under the impression the GT350R springs would drop it perfect with the BMR handlers out back with a space (yes there is a 1/8 spacer on the rear springs and it still sits like it does!)...but alas, pics don't lie and I don't think it will "settle" any lower; they've been on for a couple weeks now.

That's exactly what I'm considering as well. I'm also considering a 19x10 square setup in an attempt to make the car as neutral as possible, but something about those concave meaty rear wheels... hard to pass up. Great choice!

Looks awesome!!

Just a stop during a drive last weekend.

also, regarding the discussion of the dropped rear, but not front.. I wonder what the corner weights would look like when put on scales, compared to stock. probably not enough to get it perfect 50/50, but I imagine it could help. Not really an issue if you're not looking for every bit of handling out of the car, though.

Sunny Day in SFLA

So yeah took her for a long drive but before that a nice morning bath.

If either of you two wants to get ripped off on your wheels, I'll take em for $500! They both look so purdie

Did you plastidip the ponies?

I tried using the lens blur option on my Pixel with my car last weekend and it doesn't seem to like getting much of the car in focus at once!

Yes sir, I did plasti dipped both emblems and also did all the tinting myself, with the Vvid film for about $8, and about the wheels I just got those, but selling the premium 18's with tires!

Oh nice job, do you do tinting for work or you just gave it a shot here? $8 is much better than what I ended up paying the shop -.-

And were you the one that nabbed them from kiszl on the forum?! I almost had em myself haha

Hahah yeah bro! I got them from him! And no I just enjoy doing those little mods to the car! I'm also doing the stichthing on the seats but its taking me forever! Haha I've been lazy with that!
Here is another pic when I had the other wheels with my friends Challenger!
