Need Advise (with Pics)

Hi All
Well I started down the dangerous (expensive) road of mods today.Banzai cat back,Steeda Triax,CAI and 18inc Bullits.However I think she needs to be lowered.A couple of inches to complete the look.What do you guys think.
Also how do you go about lowering is just new shocks or something else
Cheers

Nice car! Wtf is a Banzai catback though?? lol Lowering involves swapping out the springs, and then often times shocks/struts to retain/improve ride quality and handling characteristics; also caster/camber plates are added to the front struts to add adjustability so the car can be more easily aligned after changing the suspension geometry from lowering it.

Thx benny sorry I spelt it wrong.Spelling was never a strong point with me.
Its a Bassani Quiet Thunder Cat Back.

Car looks good. Was thinking of lowering mine also. How does that catback sound compared to stock?

Benny, do you need all that extra stuff if you just lower it a little bit, like with the ford C-Springs? I'm not looking to slam the car.

i don't if you thought of it, but the cart bumper can be removed if you want cleaner lines. it's the strip on the doors. I'm pretty sure their held on by just adhesive. I never liked those things.

Plus, its free!

Im really pleased with sound nice and quiet when you at low rpms.But when you open her up sounds exactly how American V8 Should.

definetely lower it NOW. i waited till about 2 weeks ago to lower my car (got it in 03), and i wish i wouldve done it sooner, looks very sharp, yet inexpensive. FRPP C-springs for a nice subtle drop, while mainting ride quality and not hitting every speed bump in town. the srping only cost me about 160 from stangsuspension.com and installation was truly a breeze. great write up on how to do it on mustangworld.com

good luck!

I lowered my car with H&R SuperSport springs. And put in Bilstein struts/shocks to help the ride. Also put in Maximum Motorsports Caster/Camber plates. My drop was 1-3/4". It would have been another 1/4" but I also put in urethane isolators.

These were taken right after instal so it settled a little after.
Good mod. Easy to do. Haven't done shocks and struts or CC plates but I had the alignment checked after about 10K and it was fine.

Cheers guys I think I will go for a 1.5inch drop should be enough to complete the look.

Mind you the best mod I did was Steeda TriAx it likes a whole new gearbox

 

[urban96]

Hi Guys
Thanks for the nice comments about my car.
After speaking to my Mustang shop Ive ordered some steeda sport springs which should drop it about 1.5 and some Maximum Motorsports Camber/Caster plates.To help with the wide tires.
Unless you guys have had any bad experiances with Steeda springs
