Getting lighter wheels are a game changer.

I really like those. I was on the fence when I bought mine. I probably should have as I kinda regret getting 20's. Although I love the look of my Velgen's.

Hoping you can come Saturday. Would love to ride the Dragon with you.

Forgedlite MC5's. F-19x11, R-19x11.5. Front wheel and tire assemblies are 6lbs lighter than the Birdsnest HP wheel/tire, rears are 10lbs lighter each. That in combination with 2 piece front rotors dropping another 6.8lbs each. I can definately feel a difference in steering response, turn in, and braking performance.

Yessir. Now Im just trying to decide if replacing the springs with the Steeda MagneRide Dual Rate Ultimate Handling Lowering Springs is a good plan or not. A slight drop certainly would look better, but the roads, speed bumps, dips etc, are a real shit show around here

Yeah I typically have ran it in the past on a weekday morning. But going with an arranged cruise you kinda take what you can get. Will still be fun being with the whole crew. I hate riding it by myself.

Ultimate Handling springs on bad roads? Not feeling good about that. Unless you mainly use the car the track. FP springs sound like a good alternative.

Mainly just that the Steeda springs only drop the car a 1/2", and should improve the handling marginally but still have decent ride quality being a dual rate spring. There is no "cake and eat it too" with suspension mods. Gaining in one metric will always sacrifice in another

Agree. Pick your poison.

I cant afford to go down any in front around here. And Im ok with my front fender gap anyway. Id like to lower the rear about 3/4 inch. I ordered the parts to do it, but ended up sending them back, cause it seemed like a lot of money and time to only lower the rear.

Not to be rude, but why would anyone buy this?

For almost the same price you could get Apex wheels or for a lot less money you could get SVE wheels, both of which are much lighter weight.

Whatever reasons you'd consider any other OEM wheels, it probably carries over to these.
And out of the wheels I've looked at, only factory wheels seem to give you a 10.5" front width.
Everyone else makes you choose between 10" and 11".

Mostly, I was just adding to the list of OEM info. If that info gives you reason not to buy them, then it has served a purpose.

And i dont really want to go down to a 285 or 295...

Indeed, I would probably want 305s for a track event,
partly because that's what Ford is putting on their track-focused cars
and partly because this meme is a bad influence:

I like the factory look, but dont like the SVE are only 10” in front.

Just put the 11 inch "rear" SVE wheel on the front. You'll need longer studs and spacers but that's the golden track setup anyway.
