Springs? Supersports or Sportlines

[96blackstanggt]

lol yea onyx that was my thread, lol. i took ur advice on the h&r supersports, and i bought the tokico hd instead though, all i can afford for now, and some mm camber plates. next is a tire and rim set up which is what im trying to figure out next, would u do any other color if u had the chance?

 

[OnyxCobra]

well i think it really depends on the look you're going for, Saleens look great in chrome but I just didn't want something that flashy. I also love the black chrome finish but I hear it doesn't last long...

 

[96blackstanggt]

im stuck in between the chrome, silver, and black chrome.. but havent seen enough pics (black chrome) to decide.

i have some one selling me the two rear wheels at a good price, but i would have to buy the front does it matter if i buy them from the same wheel carrier or will they match up fine? color and shape wise?

 

[OnyxCobra]

depends on what finish you go with i'd say. The shape should be the same though but it's kinda risky.

 

[96blackstanggt]

there chrome

 

[OnyxCobra]

why not just buy them all from the same place?

 

[Javi]

Because he is trying to save some coins! read above!!^


just buy them separately, i doubt the difference its gonna be noticeable.

*I hope someone dont start a debate of whats the differece between chrome saleens from am VS cruizing concepts saleen chrome wheels.

 

[OnyxCobra]

Save money? Is it really that big of a difference? Chrome may be the one finish that always looks the same, i mean chrome is chrome isn't it?

 

[96blackstanggt]

got the chrome saleens, look the same no diffrence at all, now in search of some good tires.. what do u think about the tokico hp series shock will the work good with the h&r, should i buy for a 96 (year of my car) or for a 5.0 considering the drop from the ss springs?

 

[96blackstanggt]

To tell you the truth I've never used. H&R, but I've talked to jason and chuck from MM, and they highly recommend them over Eibach.well atleast to go with their coilovers..


If you want to get rid of the 4x4 look and you aren't going lower than 1.5" then get some tokico struts and camber bolts to get the car aligned. And call it a day. That's my advice.

javi what exactly do those camber bolts do.., i found some for like 30 bucks by steeda, will those work good with the h&r supersports, or do u recommend i get the mm cc plates, will i still loose tire tread with just those bolts?

 

[Sinned83]

Dude get cc plates. Or get stock in rubber.

 

[96blackstanggt]

Trying to save some coins.. to much on tires springs n rims in one month. They would be just temp... or should I just go with the plates? the drop is not to drastic so I didn't think it would make a difference.

 

[96blackstanggt]

well guys here it is finally pics of the stang
with h&r supersports, m&m c/c plates, and blistein shocks n struts
thats to u guys for all the advice and supports
crappy cell pics but it should do for now.

[Javi]

im so glad you lowered it. you were up there. lol

 

[OnyxCobra]

looks boss.

 

[96blackstanggt]

javi: i know dude tell me about it now it feels like my azz is draggin on the street hhaaha big difference, great look.

onyx: thanks for your help as well onyx the look of your drop was what i fell for i liked the stance ur ride had and had to have it, thanks for all ur tips and advice.

now i wanna put a new hood, and possibly a bumper to give it a more aggresive look, and slap a new coat a paint on it.

 

[Matt94GT]

looks great! good choice.

 

[Sinned83]

They look good, glad to see you went with the cc plates.

 

[stingracer]

Looks great. I'm definitely going this route as well.

Hmmm my experience with the H&R super sports is quite the contrary. Although I had MM CC plates, with tokico d specs (blue ones), with the H&R super sports. Could have been the shocks and struts; but holy crap I don't think I want to lower my Cobra that much! That set up is currently on my GT and it scrapes on speed bumps like no other, sweet stance and looks but it was also ridiculously bouncy! I love the look but my arse doesn't like the bouncyness and I'm not even old lol.
Now when I lower my Cobra (because it's a must) I only want to lower it about a 1.25" lol.

Good luck with your set up its probably way different due to the shocks and struts you chose, your car looks freakin sweet!
