    Any downfalls to height adjustable LCA's???

    I am looking into getting some J&M height adjustable LCA's. Are there any disadvantages to these adjustable LCA's? Is there more flex or does the spring perch tend to adjust itself? I want these because I plan on getting some wheel spacers or 10.5" wide rims and want the ability to raise the...

    VRS Stainless Steel X-pipe...good or not???

    What do you all think of the VRS X-pipe? I know they make UPR X-pipes and everyone loves them. I am more focused on the Stainless Steel and fitment. How would the VRS SS X-pipe compare to the Magnaflow and Bassani Stainless X-pipe. I have been set on the Magnaflow X-pipe just for the fact that...

    Why not buy 87-95 Alum. DS and swap yoke?

    The only difference between the two FRPP aluminum driveshafts are the transmission yokes. When I had my v6 w/ the 4R70W, I wasn't able to buy a alum. ds. that would just "bolt in" (I'm not sure if the GT autos have the same problem); neither of the transmission yokes would fit the 4R70W. So I...

    What should I get...LCA's, MM FL SFC's, or X-pipe?

    I would go with the X-pipe, but I remember on my last mustang, I bought different parts at different times and pieced it all together. Between the springs, shocks, isolators, and LCA's, I had the rear-end apart at least 4 times (not including the axle swap). I'm trying to avoid doing things...

    What should I get...LCA's, MM FL SFC's, or X-pipe?

    This is purely a corner carver, I won't be doing any drag racing. I am really stuck between the suspension and the sound. I've been thinking...Since I dont NEED a mid-pipe, and the suspension is of more importance to me than the sound, what I will probably do is get the LCA's now, install the...

    What should I get...LCA's, MM FL SFC's, or X-pipe?

    I'm still working on the suspension and would really like to (and I know I should) do the suspension all at once (i.e. install LCA's while installing springs and shocks). But then again, I wasn't sure if I should get the Subframe Connectors first over the LCA's. OR forget the suspension for a...

    What should I get...LCA's, MM FL SFC's, or X-pipe?

    Hey all. I have enough money right now to either buy Maximum Motorsports LCA's, Maximum Motorsports Full Length Subframe Connectors, or a Off-road X-pipe. Which should I get??? Keep in mind, I have springs, Bilstein shocks/struts, and Maximum Motorsports CC plates that I will be installing in a...

    lowering the car

    I would suggest a god set of shocks and struts, caster/camber plates, and urethane spring isolators. I'm not sure if a bumpsteer kit is necessary with the BBK's. For example, I am getting ready to install...BBK specific rate springs, Bilstein shocks/struts, Maximum Motorsports caster/camber...

    Custom gauge install on 2000 GT - where CD player goes

    Here's what I did on my old '98, and I know '99 and '00's are the same...I had 3 2-1/16 Autometer Phantom gauges(mechanical water temp, mechanical vacuum, and volt meter). I used a mudflap for the gauge holder. I know now someone makes a gauge holder for this area, I'm just notsure who. Let me...

    99-04 Cat-back on a 98

    There is no difference between '98 and 99+ cat-backs except you will have the extra hanger coming off the muffler closest to the wheel, which is no big deal, you don't need it. Oh one thing about puting a 99+ on a 98...there is a shorter difference b/t the tailpipe hanger and the tailpipe on 99+...

    LCA/UCA suggestions for mountain carving...

    The spring rates are 660lbs front and 260lbs rear. I think they should work well with the Bilsteins. If I like them, all the better. $50 for brand new BBK springs and liking them is better than shelling out $250. BBK makes quality springs, I have heard nothing bad about them. The $200 that I...

    LCA/UCA suggestions for mountain carving...

    I've had an Eibach Pro-Kit and Ford "C" springs on my old '98 v6. The Eibachs were sagging pretty good after 70,000 miles (Eibachs seem to have a problem with this), so I switched over to the Ford "C" springs. I wish the drop of the "C" springs was abit more, but I liked them a lot more than the...

    Do you have the specific rate or the progressive rate? How do they ride?

    What's wrong with BBK springs??? I got them brand new for $50.00. I also like the specific rate springs.

    LCA/UCA suggestions for mountain carving...

    I don't do any drag racing or auto-x, all I do is head up to the mountains and carve the mountain turns. What would be the best LCA/UCA's for this? I am leaning to the MM LCA's w/ FRPP UCA's. What do you think? Would I notice a big difference, or a slight difference? I have waiting to be...

    Fram Air Hog filters...Opinions???

    I just picked up a new drop-in Fram Air Hog air filter for $20.00. How do these compare with K&N? I'm really not interested in everyone's views on Fram products (I know, I'd never put a Fram oil filter on my car), I just want to know opinions on the Air Hog air filters. They are reusable right...

    Difference between 96-98 and 99-04 Cat Back

    First off, it will work without any problems. The hangers are in the same locations. It should just bolt right on. (trust me, I put a '97, '02, and an '03 GT catback on my '98 v6 when I had it) Differences between 94-04 exhausts...the hangers: From my experiences: -ALL YEARS have the same...
