I haven't been posting on here in a while, but I have been faithful in modding my stang! I have done some interior stuff, tinted the windows, thrown on a new spoiler, finished the suspension.... for now. Its scary when I total up how much $$$ everything is, but I forget all about it when I look at her now.

New mods include:
BMR Adj Panhard
Ford K springs
Tokico HPs
GT500 Spoiler
Window Tint
Painted Calipers
Hurst black ball with steeda billet arm
Various chrome bits in the interior


Pre Install:





Before:







During:

Everything looks so pretty... too bad nobody will ever notice once the tires are back on lol.







After:







New interior bits:




Bonus pics, these are when it was brand new for comparison:

That thing is looking sweet man! Great work! I love how relatively easy and addictive it is wrenching on these cars

Awesome I'm picking up some Roush Rear shocks, and the sway bars for the car. Hopefully this week-end Radman and I can both work on our cars.

Thanks, the ride is firm but not bouncy. I think it actually rides better than it did, way less roll.

I think that header belongs to a focus. Either that or a toyota.. my buddy's drive way is a graveyard for old toyotas.

The K springs are supposed to be 1.5 all around. The back should look the same on yours but the front up a bit for a more leveled look I would assume. You will like it... it gets rid of the 4x4 look completely!
