I just put my ripped out my matrix lowering springs, put the stock ones back in on my 97gt, then threw the 20s on. I knew i would sit higher but im really high up its like a 4X4 stang. The rubber im running is 255/35/20. The back end isnt too high up but the front is way to high. Any ideas on how to drop it just a little in the front mabe. I dont really know.

Dude you are totally throwing off your final drive ratio!
Your car was probably calibrated w/ the 17" 245/45's and now you have increased your overall diameter, which will make your ratio taller than it is supposed to be, hence SLOWER 0-60, in the 1/4, etc.

i dont think he's worried about his 0-60 or 1/4 time ... i doubt he'd go with 20's if he was? i wouldn't think so at least. just go buy a honda and really have the all show no go attitude

Holy crap, leave the guy alone. He asked for help, not your opinion.

Unfortunetly their probably isn't a set of springs designed for 20 inch rims, your best bet would be cutting your front springs..

Seriously guys, Im not crazy about the ideas of 20s on a mustang either but check out this months issue of MM&FF. There is a mustang in there that has 20s on it and it is sharp. The guy had a set of 20s custom built to look like the bullit rims.

Yeah that car looks insalely good. It also has no spoiler which looks soooo clean. The thing is though, most "20's" arent Torque Thrust or Bullitt wheels. They are usually nasty bulky Chrome wheels.
