Lowering my '11?

eliyarbrough · Nov 28, 2010

I have Eibach Pro-Kits, KYB AGX Fox Shocks/Struts, FRPP C/C plates on my 95. I love what it did for it! Have to admit I like I have the ability to ride smoother & just not take stuff @ nearly the angle I had to taker on my old car! Thinking about keeping that stock. Probably shouldn't have posted on here, but I did. My '11 doesn't look all 4WD as my 95 did in it's stock form!

Do you guys think I will be OK keeping it stock? Thanks!!

its a mustang, whats the point of having one if your gonna keep it stock

I went from writing the lady a check from my insurance, to buy my 95. Jumped from not a payment to $528.20/month. I'm not penniless, but I'm sure close every month! I just have started a 'In 6 Years' File. I am now just buying what I need vs what I want. This car came perfect, doesn't 'need' anything. After I did the exhaust, that is!

I see you're a newbie, I can't work so I get disability. I just have to be very careful with my $.

Honestly, you dont really need to drop the 11 for it to look good.

But if you are going to drop it I would say you should save for a set of bigger/wider wheels and tires to do at the same time.

Im not much of a fan for lowering cars on stock wheels/tires.

sorry didnt know all that, just do what you like, but i think it would be just fine stock but a drop wouldnt hurt

I think it looks great how it is, not all high & stuff. I might have these rims powder coated to black, maybe? That will be on down the line. I don't liker 18" cause the tires are way higher! I won't go bigger. Thanks!!

I think it looks great, but I do agree a nice set of wheels will really set that car off.

I think you should worry about paying it off first, before worrying about any mods. I thought about picking up a 11' GT but its just not feasible if you don't make 60+k a year.

No car payment > car payment

I'd keep it where it's at. Looks perfectly fine.

They look fine stock, its just the "bug" that makes you want to start toying with it. Save your money! Nothing you could do to that car is going to be cheap. Wheels/tires are expensive. How about tint the windows?

Slap a blower on it...

Looks good Eli! Sorry I must've missed the thread where you got it

I think it looks good stock personally, unless you dont like the handling and such - but since it will hang with an BMW E92 M3 stock, I'd leave her be.

Get some wheels. When those tires are out get some nice high performance ones. Once payments cease to exist then go buck wild!

eliyarbrough · Nov 30, 2010

I will never do anything to make it go faster. I really can't handle what it already has! I've had it to 140 & it seemed like it was still going about 70. It takes corners & stuff prob better than my 95 did. It wasn't stock, so I thought it might do some better? I will get BFG KDW2's when my Pirelli's wear out. The rims are 18x8/front & 18x8.5/rear. The tires are diff sizes. I will get all the same so I can rotate them. After I added the Flow's, she's perfect!!

Yep, in 6 years I will go crazy with it. Tell ya I have never been happier in being broke, though! Today was the 1st day I could go over 80, long ass story I might tell later. Had her to 120 & wow!!

The tires are Pirelli PZero Nero All Season. They supposed to be good, I'm a BFG guy. & thanks again!!

The Pirelli's that come on those stock have been tested to like .96G's on the skidpad...they are pretty dang good tires.

As far as the rims go i've seen them painted gunmetal/black and they look pretty sick.
