Got my Cobra R's! Pics!
 
Got 'em today with BFG Comp T/A's...
They look phenomenal, I can't believe I waited all these years to do it.

I almost don't mind snapping off one of the spindle studs in the process and having to cut off a stripped locking lug nut.

Thanks to all for the recommendations. FMS Cobra R's are definately the way to go.

Now I gotta find some rear disc brakes...always something

Pics below!

Pictures in an hour...
 
when the sun comes up so I can get a decent one...
and they are 4 lug. I didn't want to go through the 5-lug rigmarole. Besides, Baer has a nice 4-lug 2 piston 12 rotor front disc and rear disc conversion package so why do it?

What are the prices of these rims...They are sweet and I'm looking to start putting away to fix the exterior.

Stang_Crazy 12-20-2002 01:27 PM

Those rims look great!! I like the no spoiler/wing look as well :)

Looks good bro... really clean ride you've got there!

Very nice...

lowering...
 
I have a chance to get some FMS springs for free that supposedly will lower it by 1/2 ". I don't want it to look ghetto (no offense) I kinda like the conservative-ish look.

I always hated my luggage rack, what a worthless piece of crap.
and wings are for airplanes as far as I am concerned.

The rims/tires set my back about $1500 total to my door. They are FMS 17 x 9 with BFG G-Force 235's from an online vendor. If you want to know, I am very happy with the product/fitment and the vendor was top-notch. No kidding 48 hrs from order to my door.

My Mistake
 
You dont have Alzhiemers ultraflo....it was cyberstang5.0.

I am doing some suspension mods this winter and was going to buy springs. My stang looks a lot like Hozer's 88 and i dont want it to scrape speed bumps and stuff. I just would rather put new springs in while everything is ripped apart. I might try out the FMS springs(they are cheap) and if they arent working out put the stockers back in. I want better handling...but I dont want to hurt performance at the strip(i have never raced in a road course) should i get the C's or B's???

Ford Racing Spring Specs:
M-5300-B:
Front spring rates (lb./in) - 425/530
Rear spring rates (lb./in) - 200/300

M-5300-C:
Front spring rates (lb./in) - 650
Rear spring rates (lb./in) - 200/300

Take your pick. Neither spring was designed for drag racing. I had the C springs and loved them, but I am more into driving on pavement with curves in it. The C's lowered my car in the front 1 1/2" and left the rear at the stock ride height.

Hozer 88GTConv - where did you get your hood and how high is it? what hood pins are you using?

Hozer 88GTConv 12-21-2002 09:45 AM

Hood Pins...
 
My hood pins are Moroso's. The hood is a Kaenen 2"cowl, I didn't want to get it but I had to because of my 1.7 roller rockers/tw heads, which necessitated the 1" phenolic spacer, etc, etc...

I really wanted to keep the street sleeper look, but I guess that's over.
