I decided to throw on some Steeda springs on my 2011 Fusion Sport. I also added some smoked front bumper lights.

Day I bought it:

Threw on the 2000 Cobra R rims I have for my Cobra to see how it'd look:

Stockers back on and a quick wash:

I've always liked these cars. Better than the new fusions in appearance. Some spacers on the stock wheels would look nice. Does it ride rough with the drop?

Those wide tires just look right on that car.

Need to go pick up some wheels for it. The drop looks killer though.

I almost bought a 2012 Fusion Sport over my GT, but I didn't. :lol1:

The ride is a little more aggressive, a little more bumpy but nothing I'm not used to with the SVTF or Cobra. The body roll is almost non-existent.

The wide tires stuck out about an inch from the fenders and the lugs didn't thread a whole lot on the lug nuts. The front upper control arm was pretty close to the edge of the rim, so I think 18x9 are pushing it.

Thinking of finding some 18x8 Boss S rims....if they make them.

The drop looks great. I actually like the stock wheels better than the R's.

Always wish Ford would have produced a coupe version of the Sport. I would love a return of the midsize sport coupe from an American company. Fusion AWD coupe + Ecoboost 3.5L + 6speed = too cool to make.

That's a good looking car bud! We picked up a '10 Sport AWD around last thanksgiving and we love it! I also put Steeda springs on mine and I agree completely with how you describe the way they ride.

Keep the auto trans, it shifts VERY smooth, just put in some paddle shifters!!!

Nice man, I wanted a color other than black, but it's all CarMax had.
