Yea stock H, mine had 4 cats as well, I've never seen a 6 cat stock H on 99+ gt's. You're eventually going to need new struts and shocks with a drop like that, the factory ones wear much quicker at that height, c/c plates will help too. Sick looking ride, already off to a good start with those wheels

I'm selling my mint True Blue wing in a few weeks if you wanted to slap a wing back on to cover the mess.

You bought yourself a nice car there! Congrats.

No thanks man, I love the look of no wing. Plus then I would have to redrill hole only to fill again later on down the road . I stopped by ford the other day and had the bodys hop manager take a look, he said it would be right around $300 to fix. I'm waitin on the boss to get back from vacation at the Dodge dealer I used to work at so he can give me an estimate, cause i'm sure he'll hook me up with a better price.

I was going to say the same thing.

Those are stock pulleys as well, not under-drive pulleys.

Those are the factory mufflers, and from what can be seen that looks like the factory h-pipe.

Thanks for answering those, the pulleys was the only one I was still wondering about. Cause I finally found ford stamped on the mufflers yesterday.

IMO. Dont get body work done by a dealer. They charge too much. I'm paying $350 to get my Roush 380R nose and wing painted. Ford wanted 1500!!! hahaha

Yeah I seen a few on craigslist when I was lookin around to see what was available locally, and they all had 4 cats. I'm guessing c/c plates are for caster/camber? I need to do a little more diggin around on the suspension of these cars. I'm used to truck suspension. At the risk of me saounding retarded, its just normal shockin the rear, and struts in the front correct?

Yea man struts in front, shocks in rear, not retarded at all, we all start somewhere. A popular mod is going coilovers instead of shocks and struts, but that's for more serious strip or cornering applications. Good aftermarket struts and shocks include Bilstein, Tokico, KYB, etc.

Yeah I found that right after I posted, guess I need to look around a little more before posting. I've been lookin at americanmuscle.com which I seen mentioned a few times on this forum , si I figured it was a pretty good site, and they seem to have everything for these cars. The shock/strut kits are all around $500-$600. Seemed a bit much to me, but i'm used to spending a couple grand on air ride, and like 50 bucks on shocks . Normally dont even run them on the front of my s-10s. So just wondering where you guys buy them, and whats a good brand to get with the 2"/1.8" drop?

Yea AM is a bit pricey for shocks, although forum members here get a 6% discount on all purchases there. Most people will recommend Bilsteins if you have the means to do so. Check out Maximum Motorsports.

Thanks, check out the site now. Are there any other sites out there that are good for parts? I've got a little "wish list" made up from what I've found on americanmuscle.com. Havnt really branched out to any other sites.
