Suspension and wheels swapped over. the ride height on it, honestly, turned out just right. the rear are roller or anything and the car sits perfectly where it needs to be so nothing gets torn up.

same on the fronts, i have the car sitting just right to where i can keep the front inner fender lining and not get it torn up as well as the painted mudflaps.

Very pleased. and the fronts got the spacers, didn't want to push it in the rear and glad i didn't.

pics coming soon.

Correct sir, they are.

Thanks again for helping me out Thursday and getting those wheels locks off the car. It was good seeing you and the Teg looks great.

Let me know if you need help with my front camber kit, or I'll swing by and pick it up when you're ready for me to come get it. :)

Took a better side shot of the car the other day as well since I had some free time after working on the house...

I also had a chance to test fit the Mustang wheels from a friend, 18x8.5 (+38) with paint matched centers... I'm kind of digging them.

Some work would need to be taken care of though. A little pulling and rolling would need to be done...
