Completed my Coyote Swap

[Paul]

Nice I never cared for the 05-10 but I absolutely love the 2011+

Me too. I hate the 2005-09 body styles, plus their motors suck balls.

The 2010 got a better body, but the motor still sucks balls.


Steve-Oh - I haven't seen the night Go-Pro vids. That was my friend's camera.

I've been ordering crap in preparation for the great wheel/tire swap and lowering the car.

Tire arrived today from Discounttiredirect.com

I saved $50 with a Black Friday special, plus I'll get another $80 back from Hankook as a rebate. That will bring the total price of all four tires to only $964, which is a helluva deal for tires this big. Similar Michelins were basically two grand.

I got Hankook Ventus Evo V12s based on Sean's recommendation, and positive reviews from Car and Driver Magazine.
- Fronts 275/30/20
- Rears 305/25/20

Once I get these mounted up, I'm curious to see how the back ones will fit on the notch just for fun.

sweet man! ! I'm no tire expert, but that tread pattern looks like it'll handle rain like nobody's business...

 

[Sinned83]

Cars look good Paul. Nice stable

 

[whiplash473]

Those are nice . 20's will be sweet on there especially with 305's.
I was almost about to say good luck getting those under ur coupe but I remembered you mini tubbed it. I had to some work to make my 285's fit on my fr500 on my shitty coupe

 

[Paul]

The car is a daily driver, otherwise I'd probably be using Toyo Proxes R888s. I'm not crazy about the 25 aspect ratio out back, would like to have had a 30, but Hankook didn't have them.

Rain isn't much of a concern here in Phoenix, but it's good to have traction if I need it. LOL

I'm sure it's been mentioned somewhere in this thread, but what wheels are you planning on using?

 

[Paul]

I don't know if I posted it or not.

I spoke with Steve Lin from Forgestar. I met him at the SEMA show, and he helped me pick out what I wanted. Sooo...

I'm getting a set of 20x9 and 20x11 Forgestar F14s, with a custom "Brushed Titanium" finish. Basically, the face is machined and the rest of the wheel has a satin silver powdercoat, then the whole thing is clear powdercoated. They will look sort of like this:

Right now I'm shopping for the stuff I need to lower the car too so I can complete the look. Oh, and probably the Boss front lower wing too. Full blown ricer.

Paul.

 

[Musturd]

Those are sexy as much as people will say who no dish. I don't really like dished wheels on the 2010 up cars

 

[Slykin]

Shit. That's going to look sick.

They are concave, but not super concave. It will be much more noticeable with a different camera angle.


I also ordered Koni STR.T shocks and struts, GT500 strut mounts, and Steeda springs. I'm going to lower the car just a little - 1" up front and 1.25" in back. Since the car is my daily driver, I don't want the ride to suck or to be scraping on crap all the time. I'm too old for that crap.

Paul.

 

[Paul]

BTW, Coyote parts are stupid expensive. By the time this is all said and done, it's going to cost me four grand to lower the car and put wheels on it. :\

Paul.

 

[whiplash473]

'm too old for that crap.

Paul.

nonsense Paul

 

[Musturd]

Yea I thought they were going to concave wheels. I know what ya mean even lowering my brothers 2010GT which he just sold wasn't cheap .

 

[mygreengt]

those wheels look great!

 

[Paul]

I bought the cheap lowering setup because I want the car to ride nice, but even that is about $850 for shocks/struts/springs/mounts.

I got a great deal on the wheels from Forgestar (SEMA show special cuz I talked to the guy) but all in they are definitely not cheap. Plus I have to spend $200 on stupid TPMS sensors.

Pauls just driving the economy

Sweet Paul, those will look awesome!
