what do you guys think of wheel spacers for the FRONT???...I Know it will change the suspension geometry, and I know I may need to get longer wheel studs, but I can't afford to get new wheels with the correct backspacing ....( My 99 cobra wheels are not flush with the fender,just doesnt look right!)

I am not too familiar with them, but there is a guy who is a guru at Mustangs - Elliot Franklin at the Mustang Corral (not Ranch) # 271-2895. You might want to give him a call, I am sure he will be able to help you out. If you are in the neighborhood (Alameda and Stockton in San Jose, next door to Gromm Racing). He can probably take a look at the car first hand and advise.
Good Luck.

they were just a little too tucked in for me. the car looks wider with wheels pushed out and i like that. thats just me though.
