Advice on Next Mod

[Silvr04GT]

Hey guys,

I need some advice here, I finally found someone to sell my Eibach Pro-Kit springs from my V6 to! So I'm going to have $350 to use on the car, plus a little bit extra if needed. So on my list of mods with that price range I think that I either want to lower the car using H&R SuperSport Springs or do some exhaust work, either MagnaFlow X-Pipe (cat'd or off-road) or a MagnaFlow Cat-back. What are your thoughts on what I should I do?

Myself, I'd get the heads turning and put some sort of an exhaust upgrade on your stang. Plus it'll help the car breath a little better, and it'll give you a little extra HP.

I'm pretty sure that by the time I save up enough money to buy the supercharger I want for my car while I'm in school I'll be waiting till I graduate! I want to get a Kenne Bell and we all know how much those cost! If not check out The Mustang Shop website! So without the option of saving for a blower Russ and Joe (I think that's your name... I forgot! lol! I've been away for so long!) what's your opinions? I've been leaning towards the springs, but over in the 4.6 forum they think I should go with a off-road x-pipe. I'm a little worried about going off-road because of emissions type stuff...And is the performance decrease really that noticeable vs. a cat'd pipe? If I get an off-road pipe I'll have to get my chip reprogrammed to turn off the engine check light (not a big deal but still). So let's hear some more opinions! Thanks guys!

Well you know I'm all about looking nice and going slow, so my vote goes for the lowering springs.

Here's an idea-do the springs and just mufflers. You can get a decent set of muffs for about 200 or so and the springs shouldn't be too much. Good looks and good sound....might have a dish like 50 extra bucks out of your own pocket.

 

[Silvr04GT]

That's an good idea, but the H&R SuperSport springs are gonna run me about $350 which is gonna run the fund dry! I think my final decision is going to be to get the springs and the over the winter I'll try to save up enough to do the mid-pipe and cat-back all at the same time. Oh and so now that I'm gonna do this spring thing does anyone wanna help the install cause? A case of beer could accompany the help! Let me know if anyone is interested!

P.S. - Hey Joe where and how much was your brake setup you did with the Bullitt caliper and the cross-drilled slotted rotors?

 

[WOT]

I have a Bassani of-road X. Who cares about emissions, we don't test yet. I am just going to weld in some muffs. I haven't decided which either. It will be something like Mac Flowpaths, or maybe the Hookers.

As for the brakes, I bought mine through RCO Enterprises in Ont. They have ads in MM&FF. The calipers were just under 400 shipped. The rotors I picked up off of Ebay for 200. I have to do the rears. Hopefully by next summer I will have them on (along with an intercooler).

 

[Silvr04GT]

So would anyone be willing to help with a spring install? Or could someone recommend a good place to have the springs installed? I've read the stuff on how to install them on MustangWorld, but I don't have the tools/equipment to do a job like that! Plus it's always nice to have someone around who has more experience doing this kinda work!

Alright my H&R SuperSports are on the way! One lowered Mustang coming up! This is going to be great!

 

[Jd200287gt]

I would help, but im pretty much useless. I have zero tools and have never installed springs before...............Goodluck
