I don’t think I ever posted a pic of the LED lightbar/pods on so here’s a pic.

Here’s a few pics from this dam that’s a cool spot for pics.

Had a warm day so washed the Vic.

Picked up an upgraded rear swaybar, did the LCM bypass mod to fix the hyper flash with the LED bulbs in the turn signals, and grounded out the wire for the FSS to turn off the light that had been on since it had been removed for the cat-back exhaust.

Picked up some Nitto NT555 G2 tires for the Bullitt wheels the backs are 315 here’s some pics so you can see how wide they are.

This past Monday had the tires mounted and threw the Bullitt wheels on, the fronts are 17x9 rears are 17x10.5 wrapped in Nitto NT555 G2 tires fronts are 275/40/17 rears are 315/35/17.

Today I ordered an upgraded front swaybar, I plan on doing that and powder coated red front/rear calipers over April break. Then I’m going to pick up some upgraded rear control arms and watts link, I’m still undecided on a brand might go Metco or CHE kinda comes down to which watts link will clear the aftermarket exhaust.

Does it handle different with the wider tires and wheels? Still feels ok?

Going down the road it handles and rides about the same, in tight parking lots etc. the turning radius isn’t as good as it was with the stock wheels/tires but it’s not terrible.

Looking dead sexy! Those wheels are badass! Serious meat on them. Kinda surprised to see you went with them, considering the rest of the rigs legit “UC” appearance. Looks great man! Keep it up!

It still amazes me how much wheels changes the look of any vehicle. Looks great. What swaybar did you go with? Notice a big difference in the way it handles?

Oh they definitely do and thanks and ADTR the factory bar is like 1/2 this one is like 1” it handles so much better especially on the highway in the curves you can just glide through them no more braking all the time.

Mine is the sport LX. I wonder if the suspension is tighter(sport suspension) then a regular (non P71) vic. I have airbags instead of shocks, and it handles pretty good.

You’ll have the rear swaybar then, the P71/P7B, Marauder, LX Sport and the Mercury Grand Marquis LSE (basically a Mercury LX Sport) and I think the Town Car did too, everything else didn’t it’s super easy to ad tho.

Nice. I really should do some research on it, see what I could do for a few(cheap)extra ponies
