G'day from the UK!

I own a Shelby GT 2007/2008 (Black) - I've gone with 20" Razors with 275/35/20 Rear & 265/35/20 front.

My only disappointment with my stang is the stance.....see pics

I know it's all about personal preference, but I want a more aggressive type look.....

I'm looking to buy some coil overs: - (I don't get a big choice in UK for obvious reasons) if anyone would like to throw their opinion - much appreciate!

PS I know nothing about Mods! Cheers everyone!

I don't think that is a bad stance. Wheel gaps look decent all the way around. But if you want to lower it why not just get some springs?

Can't see what you're talking about... Stance is about as good as it gets. Lowering it further will only cause other problems (i.e. camber will go more negative and likely wear the outside edges of your tires in the front. Shocks look like they're compressed already so lowering it further you'll lose that extra travel resulting in a harsher ride). I'd recommend asking a few friends you know for their opinions. IMHO the stance looks perfect. Bitch'in looking car by the way. Perfect wheels for that body color and stripes.

If you want to go deeper for optical reasons, what about an air-ride?
What are the fender emblems?
Very nice car.

Thank you so much for your kind words - really appreciated.... however, I've owned & loved this Stang for 12 years now & i'm getting picky on the looks…otherwise I get bored (a Little) I get tempted to sell TBH! - i just need 1 inch back & 2 inch front to see her as perfect! - (I think) – I want it to to be 100% perfect for me….

Americans use the word fender while Brits use the word wing to describe the front and rear quarter panels.
Americans also call the front bonnet a hood, and the rear boot a trunk.
Never mind. One day they might learn proper English. ;):Big Laugh:

In German it is also called wing, Flügel, but with feces in front, Kotflügel. It is named after the same part from coaches to prevent throwing horse poo around picked up from the streets. First car was a coach with an engine.
