Here are some pics after I finished the VV Cobra Brake kit on the front, while i was in there I did the 1in UCA drop and built a set of OTP roller spring perches. What do you think of the height? Next up will be the VV rear disc kit and get it all plumbed up.

lower the back a lil more and put a 275/40

The front looks perfect. The rear needs to be a little bit lower, and put some serious tire back there!

Looks like you have a guardian angel floating above the hood

Nice pics. How easy was it to do the UCA drop. Did you have to remove the UCA from the ball joints? What type of leaf springs do you have in the back? Are they stock height?

 

[n8rsk8r]

looks great man! Pure secks! Thought about getting some zinc dipped rotors? Get in trouble again so you can complete the stang!

Definantly going lower in the rear when I do the rear disc swap shortly, and fatter rubber in the rear will be a must.

I took the upper arm completely out and had John (great guy to deal with) at opentracker rework them for me. Built a set of his roller perches and drilled the holes while everything was apart. Check out http://home.bresnan.net/~dazed/drop, great gut to deal with also. The rear springs are supposed to be from grab-a-trak not sure if they are stock height or not though.

Thanks everyone. Will probably look into the zinc rotors after I get everything working the way I want it to. Yea I gonna try and get in trouble again shortly.

Well I wasn't bad this time, but it was my B-day this weekend so the SWMBO decided that it was alright for me to take some time away from the holiday duties and do some things to the car. We finished the rear axles and test fitted the rear rim.

georgous car! lovin the color! and keep up the good work! no matter how much trouble you get in lol

 

[dbdragracing]

Good looking car! How wide are your wheels? Thanks.

 

[bnickel]

looks good man. i think you need more rubber in the front too though, like maybe a 255/40, that would look really sweet with the 275's out back.

exactly what i thought!

is there a patron saint of mustangs???

Those rims look great on the Mach ! Good job and the color is awesome.

Thanks, I'm using wheels that are b/s for 99-04 mustangs, 8" on the front and 10.5" are on the rear. Using 245/45/17's on the front and hoping either a 315/35/17 or 285/40/17 will work on the rear with some fender rolling.

Thanks, I'll have to check that size out with one of those on line wheel calculators, but I think they might be too wide.

i'm running 245/45's on my 69 right now and i think there's plenty of room for the 255/40.

Did you have to do anything special to make the 10.5s fit in the rear (spacers, axels, etc.)? The staggered look is what Im going for in the spring! Thanks.

The kit I bought from Ventage Venom it came with spacers that are installed below the rotors. The front is spacer is 1.000" and the rear is .437".

 

[dbdragracing]

Thanks for the help. So the spacers actually move the wheels out a little further? The axles are stock length? Thanks.

 

[CanyonCarver515]

It's a matter of personal taste, but I am a believer in thicker sidewalls. I think that you are not able to fill the fenderwell openings because of these lo-profile tires.

By going to a taller tire you will achieve a better balance. But as long as you happy with your combo...

Yes the spacers move the wheels out or adapt to make the backspacing of the 99-04 mustang wheels work. The axles are the stock length. You have to install longer wheel studs that come with the kit.
