    Best way to lower my 00 GT about 2 inches?

    Interesting the 8200 is the top selling spring on stangsuspension.com, but they also highly recommend replacing the stock shocks & struts when buying new springs.. Sounds like this could be a little expensive. Also from doing more research it looks like im not wanting a 2 - 2.5" drop, more...

    2000 Mustang GT Mach 460 TUTORIAL! HELP!

    Yea im sure yours works and im glad I found this thread, It just seems to (in my case at least) make more sense to use the 5510 being it has the 2 sets of RCA's (Front & Rear for the factory amps) which would work out just right with my Pioneer's Front & Rear rca outputs.

    2000 GT, Want to replace stock stereo deck with Pioneer, Is there an adapter?

    Just an FYI for anyone that might read this thread, the Metra 70-5519 harness does NOT work with a 2000 GT, even tho the description says "2000-2001 Ford" in reality its referring to a 2000 Lincoln and a 2001GT, For a 2000GT You need to use the Metra 70-5511 Harness or if you plan on adding a...

    Replacement headlights

    I recently replaced my 2000 GT's headlights with smoked aftermarket lights, they look 100x better and I havent had any issues but as for longevity I dont know, It only took 5 minutes to replace them so if I have to replace them in a couple years im not complaining, they were dirt cheap vs. other...

    AC noise

    Speaking of AC noise whenever I have mine on it sounds like I have a supercharger installed lol, I get a whine that gets louder as the engine RPM's increase .. Should I be concerned? The AC works great otherwise, It's been doing it since I bought the car last year with 59K miles, 2000 GT.

    FOUND my MUSTANG!

    Thats actually A great deal, I'd say go for it, in fact I paid $12k for my 2000 GT with 59K miles last year but that's what I get for buying it from Carmax, The one good thing is that price included a 3 year warranty. In the b&w pic shown above you can tell the car has been garage kept ..the...

    I have a Pioneer DEH-P690UB deck that I'd like to install in my 2000GT, it currently has the stock Mach 460 system & deck, do they make an adapter that would allow me to use the stock amps with the Pioneer? Thanks.

    Finally replaced my cloudy / foggy headlights

    It only took 5-6 minutes to change them out and they matched up pretty much flawless against the body. A friend of mine ordered them through his shop at $140 for the pair which included all the bulbs. Im not sure on the exact model # he just told me they were popular, I do know the brand is...

    Finally decided to replace the original headlights on my 2000 GT due to them being clouded over and was surprised how much better the new ones look .. I guess its nothing special being they're just stock replacements for 01 - 04 mustangs but it still made a big improvement to the front end...

    99 GT needs a clutch. which one?

    I recently had the stock clutch replaced (due to chattering) with a Centerforce Dual friction plus had the flywheel resurfaced and I absolutely love it.. Its very smooth with zero chatter. Everything else on the car is stock at the moment, 2000 GT w/ 65k miles.
