Default Pics after lowering the car...

First off I know I need new rotors so no one say a word!

If any of you guys remember my thread about a month ago or so I got new rims for the Z but it made the car sit like a damn 4x4.


Before lowering






After

Looks absolutely amazing! I love the wheels and the way they go with the Maroon!

What springs are you using? I love the stance.

In my opinion, they look amazing. I'd consider them as a cheaper substitution for the charcoal-centered Torque Thrust II's.

They stuck out a little further than I wanted when the guy welded them up. Nothing I can really do. It's not "that" bad. The side shot makes them look like they're sticking out more than they really are.

Why the Bullet rims? Because it's different yet still tasteful. They're not quite TT2's. They're certainly not the played out ZO6's or ZR1's(not knocking them, awesome rims but everyone and their grandmom has them). They're not big bling bling rims. They're conservative yet different if that makes any sense. Plus I've always liked them on the Mustangs.

Plus I got one hell of a deal on them!

Looks great. You should have hit those rotors with some black spray paint before you put the wheels on.

I hit mine with some High temp engine paint non-glossy and they have been fine ever since. I actually hit the whole rotor with the paint. After a few stops in the driveway the area used by the pads were worn off and stoping fine. Just becareful if you paint the whole rotor the first few times you hit the brakes. So now the fins on the outside will be nice and painted too. Later...

Not that you don't know, but make sure your sand them off first. Put some primer on there then hit it up.
