Besides looking great.

How do you compare the difference's between the new set up to the originals ?
The way your car accelerates, braking & handles ?

I haven't had a chance to try anything "spirited" as of yet. I can say a couple things I've noticed so far:

1. After a couple weeks I think my neighborhood road will have about million less rocks/pebbles. I thought rocks sticking to the super sports was bad.

2. The cup2s warm up really really fast! At startup they are at 35psi and by the time I'm on the freeway they are at 40-41psi.

3. The ride seems smoother with the cup2s.

4. Haven't really noticed any tramming.

I bet you will change your tune if you saw the same car down 1" all around ;)

New meat ready for install, but no black lug nuts. What are the specs on the short ones you have icormba? I found some gorilla black spline, but they are WAY to long. :frusty: BTW, these wheels look great! R spec wheels, R spec tires.

I got those from Paul as well.

Look to be 14mm 1.5 RH twist. I'm guessing 60 degree??? but for sure are 19mm or 3/4 HEX socket.

Overall length is about 1 1/4-1/3 inch

I take my driveways at 69 degrees

That is too extreme for me, 65* is my limit otherwise im installing helper springs

Can you post pics of front and back lugs so we can see how much shows in both wheels?

Rear lugs do stick out about 1/4 inch or so. The fronts are flush.

Here's a rear shot:

Hey ICORMBA.....I am waiting on mine and have not yet settled on satin or gloss black. Yours look great on your car. Just wondered how the stock tech/track wheels compare to the satin 6G wheels in terms of sheen? Mine is Race Red.....opinions and taste comments welcome.

Yeah lets compromise handling and suspension travel for aesthetics. Not to mention the front end will be nearly impossible to get in any drive way, even with the current ride height and tall tires it can scape in some moderate driveways. Go to the R wheels and drop it an inch and you are going to be driving around like this import kids taking driveways at 70 degrees while you hold up traffic

You should have just said "get off my lawn".

If you think an inch drop will make you like an import kid I dont know what to say. Ive been driving all sorts of cars modified for 25+ years (including a lot of Mustangs) and never has a set of springs that were designed for that car ruined the handling. I would guess Ford Performance wont release a product that ruins the car but maybe I have too much faith in them.

I cant wait till I have a tracking number. My son is with me for a few weeks. I want to be able to put them on while he is down.

I have some spacers you can borrow...

Hey man, have you gotten your wheels mounted yet? Would still love to see those pics

No. I'm currently on deploy. Once I get back home I'll have them on that evening, God willing.

The satin is very close to our stock GT350 wheels. However, if you have the gloss black roof w/race red... I think the gloss wheels would look awesome!!
