Just a few ??

[Bullgod]

I have a few questions. I just got a new (To me anyway) ride. It is a 97 GT. It is nice and fun to drive. Good dayly driver. Nice to drive a car again. But here are the questions. The car is, as far as I can tell, all stock. I have about $300+/- to do a few things off the bat. I will add more later. At first I was thinking Springs or exaust (Cat back). Then I was thinking a few cosmetic things like a mach one chin spoiler, s281 wing. Don't know. aybe I can get some input from you guys. I have not owned a mustang since High school, a long time ago. That car was fast, but I also had money to burn. Any help would be great.

There are alot of springs out there. My sportlines are perfect for me. Everybody likes different cat-backs.The magnapacks are a good cat-back but that's because i got them and love them.... Try out www.mustangexhaust.com to see what you like it's all up to you.

welcome..

i would suggest lowering your car first, most people around here will recommend eibach, if you search you'll find some pics/info, then exhaust..

I would go with exhaust first. Then you should get gears. 4.10s will help a lot. Is your car an Auto and 5 spd?

The car is a 5 spd. I was thinking about the springs. The question I have is How low do the sport line eibach springs lower the car? The reason I'm hesitent now is bcause at the stock height now I scrape on cross pans. We have deep pans here on the western slope CO. I have gone to www.mustangexhaust.com. How is the fit and finsh on MAC catbacks?

How is the ride on FRPP springs?

not really sure on mac products but the sportlines will drop your car 2inchs and you need some cc plates to go with those.

My buddy had a Mac exhaust on his car...the sound was nice, a little too loud for my taste but he liked it. He did have one heck of a time putting it on though. The flanges wouldnt fit right he said but it did go on eventually.

sportlines drop it 2". look at mine (the fr500s series), it is dropped 2" with sportline clones ... pics in sig.

i don't know anything about fit or finish on the mac. i'm going to get flowmaster force 2's soon.

How is the ride on FRPP springs?

I have the C springs on a 00GT and just put the pro-kit on a 02GT. The C springs have a harsher ride IMO but the ford B springs look to be a bit softer up front than the C’s.

oh, may want to consider sub-frame connectors.

Get magnaflow catback first then get gears.

Go with the exhaust first then get gears. Save cosmetic stuff for last
