Hello! Newbie here.. kinda? :)

How bout a heat gun and a baseball bat? Doing this old school, son!

But on that topic... would I have to roll for 315's in the back? I was talking to a member who has some 315's, I didn't even think about fender rub at 315

Because for $35 you can do it right and it not look like asshole.

Springs are super easy to change on those.. Front's are only difficult if you don't have an impact wrench (strut tower bolt). Parts stores will "loan" you spring compressors for free.

If those are 04 Cobra replicas they're probably only 9" wide. 10" at most, as I recall seeing them available anyhow.

I have an impact gun I picked up from harbor freight, definitely packs a wallop but, I dunno if it'll have enough muscle for suspension work.

I did the ball joints all with hand tools though, so I can make it happen.

Well, hand tools, a torch, and the biggest breaker bar I've ever seen in my entire life, but still, no automatic tools

oh no I'm definitely not going to put 315's on without a wider wheel haha!!

I'm hoping to buy these cobra knock offs that I think he said are 10.5 in the back.

But either way, even if I have to throw some springs on there to save the look it's no biggy. I'll hopefully rent a spring compressor and pick up some used springs and bam! super-sexy-stang!

I swear, it sounds all wrong, but it really does look worse with the wide tires and no drop. I literally drove mine with the wide tires for like a week before I HAD to drop it because it looked so bad.

And don't try to squeeze 315's on the stock 8" wide wheels, that looks like shit too. 275's on the 8" wheels aren't terrible looking, and better than stock IMO. As wide as I would go though.

Stock height looks silly anyway

but stock with 315's HAS to look better than stock with 245s. The wheels actually sit INSIDE the fender. What the hell is that!?!?

Stock 4x4 height you won't need to roll them for sure, but it looks kinda silly too. At stock height and with 315's I mean.

I live near fairly smooth roads though, stock height for now. if I end up with 315 and I need to roll 'em, that's fine, car needs a paint job anyway!!

Mine had Sportlines and 10.5" Bullets on the rear (as you see in my pics) with 315's and after 4 different tires I only ever had rubbing on BFG DR's. They run pretty wide. I will say that even with the rubbing and plenty of drag passes, I ultimately only had to replace them due to normal wear (only got about 10k miles though, DD + maybe 100 drag passes). No rubbing at all on Nitto DR's nor two different street tires.

some say yes and some say no. imo, depends on the road (back country or highway) is the car lowered, offset of rims. all that fun stuff.. ooh and if you have a fat chick in the back seat too

Fat chicks can't even make it into the back.

But, they're not allowed back there anyway.

Or in the front, for that matter.

Not in the market, but have thought about it..

I think my next Mustang will either be an sn95 toy or a Coyote daily. But neither are in the immediate plans.

I almost went to a 99 Cobra, which I could have basically got for only an additional ~$800-1,000...

And then I saw it had 200,000 miles.

NOPE

Rent a fender roller from Pukulski-Blatz on here, and go for broke, dude.
