2006 Mustang GT Build

Wow that Mustang is beautiful. I can't wait to get mine the way I want it.

[Jarrid1220]

I didn't have adjustable control arms on my 06 GT

Here's a few pics of mine let me know if you want me to remove them:

How low was your stang? Were you running coilovers.

Update purchased all suspension components. Will more than likely purchase wheels after the first of the year, maybe later.

I will have pics up later next weeks when the parts come in.

[Jarrid1220]

Loving these wheels. I don't know how much they are going to be but I like them. I'd imagine they'd be a good price.

Site says they come out early next year so I'll be keeping an eye out

Wheels specs are 18X10.25 +20

I was not on coilovers, in that picture it was just sportlines and stock shocks/struts. Later I cut the springs more and put them on Koni yellows.

And those XXR's will not be expensive. They look like replicas of the saleen wheels.

XXR's are always cheap, and always will be. That's why people buy them hahaha.

Nothing is better than the real thing though.

Oh no doubt about that, the Mustang is my daily driver so I don't want to buy nice expensive wheels that will get trashed.

One day is I keep the car long enough and make it a weekend driver. I'm a Ford guy so a Mustang is about as good as it gets.

Although a VIP Lincoln LS sounds pretty sex right now lol.

I always wanted to VIP an LS v8.. they're so sex... But the wheel are ok.. I'm sure if you got them you won't be flamed only because they're not that many STANCED mustangs

Well there are other wheels that I like for sure but I'm having concerns about fitment. A lot of the wheels I'm seeing are +10 offset and it concerns me that they may not fit. I can't camber in the rear due to the live axle so my options are a bit limited.

The more offset I go with the less low I can go.

Might want to read that, from what I have read, camber on a live axle doesn't sound economical.

I would imagine extensive customization would be necessary to camber a live axel.

So I don't have any plans to try and camber the rear. The front I could but I don't think that would be necessary since I will be running a square set up.

Small update: I ordered my coilovers through 1XRacing.com (BAD Idea). Never order anything from there.

Was getting no response from them and did some research and turns out people weren't getting their merchandise so I called my card company to have them cancel the charge. Waiting on that to go through so I may be waiting a little longer for coilovers.

Received my Steeda bump steer kit today.



I want to order my coilovers but I'm waiting on my charge dispute with Chase. I had to have them cancel the charge with 1Xracing.com. That will be about 20 days so I'm going to have to wait a little bit for that. Which isn't a big deal because I'm kind of ahead of schedule right now.

Also received my Steeda X5 Ball Joints today. Feels good to start collecting parts

[Jarrid1220]

Boom ordered these wheels today! Had to pop on them they were on sale and I love them.

18X10.5 +20mm offset. Should sit beautifully.
