They also come in Black but since my car is Red and Black and the wheels are Black I decided on Red. I will have pics taken, I am going to have the guys at Springfield Motorsport install them I have to get new wheels though so now I need to decide on them, I was thinking of doing the 20" Shelby Razors and having 2 of them custom widened to 10" (maybe 10.5") but they only come 9" wide. If not those I dunno but it dose not look like they will clear my Foose wheels, so I am gonna keep those for the next stang

HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF USING H&R SPACERS ON YOUR FOOSE WHEELS.I HAVE ASKED AND TOLD THAT YOU CAN DO THIS TO MAKE THE CALIPERS FIT WITH FOOSE WHEELS.JUST A THOUGHT AND IT WOULD SAVE YOU ON A SET OF WHEELS CAUSE THEY ARE ALOT LESS IN COST.TRY THIS LINK.

Well I had heard kinda mixed reviews about spacers, some say they are OK others that they are a bad idea. I have also been told I will need longer studs (which kinda makes sense) but I am not the most technical of people, I can design a nice show car but most of the work I leave to others...

TRUE SPACERS CAN BE BAD. BUT IF YOU GO WITH THE SPACERS THAT YOU CHANGE WHEELS STUDS THEY ARE OKAY.THAT MEANS GO WITH ONLY THE FIRST TWO MINIMAL SPACER THICKNESS AVALIBLE.WHEN YOU NEED TO ADD LONGER WHEEL STUDS ITS TO MUCH.IM TALKING ABOUT THE DRS SPACERS.THESE SPACERS HAVE ARP WHEEL STUDS WHICH ARE BETTER THEN YOUR STOCK WHEEL STUDS.ALSO THE SPACER IS ONLY MINIMAL AND IT IS ONLY CHANGING YOUR BACKSPACING OF YOUR WHEELS VERY SLIGHTLY JUST ENOUGH TO CLEAR CALIPERS.I 'VE SEEN THIS DONE ON ANOTHER 05 MUSTANG GT WITH FOOSE WHEELS THAT WE ARE RUNNING.HE HAS A PROCHARGER AND BUILT BOTTOM END AND IS RUNNING STOPTECH 14"BRAKES (ROUSH BRAKES)WITH H&R SPACERS (15MM DRS).HE RUNS IN LOW 11'S AND ITS GETTING BETTER.I THINK THAT MUCH STRESS ON THESE WHEEL SPACERS IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO GO FOR IT.OH AND MAY I REMIND YOU THATS 20" WHEELS HE IS DOING THIS ON.I'VE SEEN THE CAR RUN AND THE TIME SLIPS AND HE IS DOING IT IN CALIFORNIA(EMISSIONS).TO ADD TO YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS ITS THE WAY I'M GOING WITH MY FOOSE WHEELS.

Well looking at your sig I see we are both running the same foose wheels (mine black yours chrome) so I'll give it a look. I need to take the wheel off and see exactly how much I need I guess but it dose not look like it would need to be much.

Well to be completely honest I paid about $150 which was the cost of shipping

Lets just say its good to have a show car, that is why I was not so crushed when I thought I would have to replace my wheels but RED ROUSH found me a way around even that (thx man) Also I actually found out after I got them that these are the same brakes Ford ships the FR500GT with so yea they are def over kill for my car

Still they are pretty sweet. . . glad to hear you got a deal. . . one of the only brake set that retails for more than the roush/alcons
