My birthday is the 20th and i was wondering what i should ask for it? I know i want something for my mustang but i don't know what?

A couple of things i have thought of so far are......

A nice CD player?
A new set of tail lights form blue oval or somebody?
A light bar. i think they look cool?
Lowering springs? (my car sits like a monster truck )


My Mom and Dad said anything i want besides a v8 and or a stripper

if you have an better ideas please let me know.

any ideas stangnet?

id do the springs and shocks, and an engine dress up kit.... just a thought, a nice set of valve covers really sets off an engine bay.

i think ill go with that.

now who can tell me what brand would work for me. i could really care less if there the best or not. i just need it to sit lower. i mean it looks like its ready to do battle off road.

and i dont really want to make them spend alot either.

any ford racing or eibach spring is going to be good... honestly, any name brand spring that'll give you about an inch and a half drop is going to be fine.

The Springs and shocks work only issue is I think 4 cyls and 6 cyls (7.5 rear) used different shocks than the 8.8s, so if you swapped soon, youd have to replace the shocks...

Personally Id get it sitting right! Stance, wheels and tires can make or break ANY car!

this is what i think ill go with.

http://www.americanmuscle.com/forac.html

anyone know how there custmer serivice is?

it says they work with al 79-04 model

These Ford Racing Springs (C-Springs) will lower your car 1"-1.25". This will give your car an agressive stance and it will also give your car a lower center of gravity making your car handle better. Ford Racing Springs fit all Mustangs 79-04 (except 99+ cobra). Lowers car approximately 1"-1.25".

i think 1" will help my car major.

ill check into the shock thing. but when we went and bought new rear shocks for my mustang and my dads mustang at the same time we both bought the same shock. same brand and model. just said for a 83 and an 86. didn't ask us what engine or anything it had.

thanks for the FYI ill check into it.
