Some updateing on the Alloy Droptop(pictures) **DUW**

[droptop07]

Well since my CEO(Mrs) wont let me do any major motor mods to make vert quicker I have to do something to it, before I go crazy. So I am doing appearance items to it..
I added GT500 Brembo brake, w/ drilled and slotted rotors, 2010 GT500 rims, roush leveling springs for the rear, and an elaenor grill. Bad thing is now, I think I need to drop the front, but dont like what the aftermarket srings offer for lowering it. I would like 3/4 to 1" drop to take up the gap some, not looking to slam car.

Got the rear slotted & drilled rotors in route and should be here hopefully tomorrow and I can get them painted up and installed.
Here are a couple before and after pics,,

What ya think??

BEFORE-- when I 1st got it..

NOW--After yesterday wrench time---

Looks alot better. Nice Job!

Much better. If you're looking for a spring with a minor drop, check out H&R. They offer an OE sport spring which provides a 3/4" drop. I'm getting ready to install a set in my car. I didn't dare go any lower with my Cervinis kit.

looks good! brembos are awesome. What rotors did you go with? A drop will do wonders for your look

It looks better now, but it looked pretty good at first too. Did your car come with 2010 gt wheels?

Looks great! Are those the 18in wheels? What size tires? I had the same spring set-up on mine for a while (Roush rear springs/stock fronts), but after installing the supercharger the rake just did not look right. So I swapped out the rears with the CJs and sits perfect.

I am seriously considering the '10 18in GT500 wheels for my car and think these pictures sealed the deal for me along with the very reasonable cost ($137 ea).

This is the money shot and reminds me why I really like Alloy

Yea these are the 18" Gt500's off a 2010 convertible. I wanted the machined face, and the 19" dont have it.

The color is reason I bought this car. Knew I wanted it when seller opened the garage door. And once all the mechanical items checked out made offer.

Yea the 2010 GT rims were on it when I bought it. Guy I got it from put thise one bout 6mo's before I bought car. They did look realy good on there. Might put them on my sons 88 T-bird sport.

I got them off ebay. Bought the caliper & rear springs off here. The rotors came with frotn and rear set and pads for both also. really only needed fronts, but wanted the rers to match so bought set of 4.

Hey man, I am glad to see you joined on here too.(I am TruBlu03 on xfoa.net). Like I said over there, the wheels look great with the color of your Stang. But, I would definitely drop the front about 1/2-3/4".

I agree! And the easiest to way to get a mild drop like that is to throw a blower on it

Looks awesome!
