Thanks Bulutt,
I was going to suggest the same , or my thought are the same as GT550s because his car is Green, Silver Calipers/Red Brembo sticker or Black Calipers/Green/white Brembo sticker would really suit...

I really like what you have done with your car. Not over the top but just enough to make it stand out from the crowd.

Agreed, though I tend to avoid black with black wheels unles there is a lot of space between the spokes. Where there are heaps of spokes you cant really make out the caliper.

@snake bite just wait until you get those new rims, as @BruceTheQuail says it'll look even better.

Ride height is looking the goods too, IMHO there's a narrow sweet spot for these cars. If it's not too much trouble would you mind measuring the distance from the centre of the hub badge to the bottom of the guards please? Both Eibach and Ford Racing is mentioned in the car's profile, can you confirm what springs you're running?

I'll have to remember to do this measurement before I do mine 🤔

Might be worth doing, when I installed the BMR SP763 kit it was supposed to drop 21mm F and 12mm R. Rear looked too low and one of the US folks who installed similar drop springs kindly measured the hub to guard for me and it appears to confirm my suspicion. I'm after the same appearance as his and @snake bite, front looks the same but the rear looks much lower on mine. The thlot pickens.

Yep. I going with the Ford Performance Mustang Magneride Handling Pack - GT350 / GT / Ecoboost MPN: M-9602-M. Performance Lowering springs, sway bars, & Magnaride software update.
Lucky there is a long thread just about it on this site so pretty happy I have a good idea what it’s going to be like. Only about 20mm down which I’m happy with.
