Something Different So this is how my car used to look:
Typical cheap drag set up, but due to me getting my CDL, and Kansas City not having a drag strip anyone I got tired of the lack of braking,handling with the skinny tires, and the high speed road vibration from the bias-ply tires. So I started looking into something different besides TT2's/Corvette Wheels/Fiske/ ect ect. Started looking around and Mustang guys LOVE True Forged wheels so I thought I'd hit them up. Come to find out they haven't done that many Fbody wheels at all. The quality my counsin told me (He used to work for a Mustang Shop) was awesome so I pulled the trigger. Longest 6 weeks of my life but SO worth it!
I got 17X9.5 +35 , and 17X11 +55 wrapped in Nitto NT05 and NT05R rubber
Quick pictures
I'm thinking a mild drop and C5 brakes up front here soon

I'm kinda looking at Strano Performance 1.2 inch Lowering Springs
Cool, no worries dude. I kinda figured that was the reason, but you never know. Ijust did almost the same thing you did with my car. Strano/konis/wheels&tires. I got tired of the drag olny thing.
She handles quite well. The biggest improvement I have noticed is with the Watts link. The mid corner aplication of poweris rediculous. I turn the wheel where I want and she goes.
