My car runs perfect. My wife loves it as her DD and is very proud of it. With all the suspension mods, it rides like the big Mercedes did back in the 80's, but handles like a big Mustang. The low profile 285/40/18 tires ride better than the original Michelins. It sounds good, looks good and once it gets rolling, its a fairly quick car. Only one mod left I need to do, a 3.55 trac-lock.Thats it, its got everything we need. And, it does not even have 31k on it yet. It's a fun car. Just had to report that.

I think it's catching. My wife puts on a pouty face if she doesn't get to drive whenever we take the 99 anywhere.
I've barely put 300 miles on it, while she's put well over 3000. Pretty good for a 150k+ car.Owner of the only known 5 speed box wagon with a lift kit.

Hey GHorneck
Awesome car i am modeling my sleeper much the same, I get my suspension parts tuesday 9/13 and plenum 9/15 so next weekend
ill update my album.
About those 18's you have on your 2009 those look real goood and im looking at some from 2010 mustang 5 star and was curious what offset spacers you ended up using ?
And im assuming your rims are staggered like the mustang with a 9 inch and 10 inch wide rim?
I just dont wanna make the purchase and not know what to do next...

Sad to hear it handles like a mustang. Mine handles better than my mustang ever could, and many other mustangs as proven at the autocross.
