What should i do with $800

TropicMustang · Mar 2, 2009

Guys i got some money to spend and i need some help deciding on what i should get. All the stuff i have done is listed in my Sig. Let me know what you think.

Aluminum driveshaft and 4.10 gears.
Or 3.73 depending on where you want your kick.
That would cover most of the mula.

I was thinking about gears but traction right now is horrible with those little 245's on the back. I was thinking Rims and tires with 305-315's on the back. I know that will be a little more the $800 though.

Go to 315 tires.
Thats going to be the best bet for your supercharger.
I just put mine on yesterday. The stance is badass.
What kind of wheels do you have now?

TropicMustang · Mar 2, 2009

Just the stock 5 Star pony rims. I would be going to black 5 spoke saleen rims since i have my lights smoked and everything else. 18x9's up front and 18x10's in the back. I will have to sell my stock rims asap then lol.

With that supercharger, either the wheels, or the headers would be a good idea.
I would still go with the gears and driveshaft... or maybe the gears and headers.
Stock gears need to go fairly soon.
Although I understand the traction issue.... plus the wheels will give your car a better curb appeal. I would recommend lowering your car to go with the wheels though. The wheel gap looks kinda bad.
It all depends on whats most important to you right now.

Handling>Power

I think im leaning towards the the wheels and some lowering springs. I need traction pretty bad. I would throw in some springs also to help with the 4x4 status and th handling of the car.

Thats probably the best idea right now...
I just did the EXACT same thing to my car yesterday..
The springs go on next weekend.
Watch out though, the 315s look BADASS!
They are much wider than I thought.

here are the 315s next to 235.

on the car

highly recommend them

They are the one mod that can go on ANY year mustang and look that good.

by the way what brand tires are you running, and how much did they cost you ? if you don't mind me asking.

315/35-17 Mustang Tires at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
I got my tires from there.
I have Sumitomo High performance HTR Z tire.
Only because they were the cheapest, and like you , I had a certain amount of money that needed to stretch so far.
They are 159.00/tire there.

Sumitomo HTR Z

Although if you get them at tirerack.com, they're 104.00/tire.
The only reason I got them from americanmuscle is because i got the tire and rim combo. They mount and balance them for free. But from now on, when i need new rear tires, Im going to tirerack.

If I were you, I would, save it, make sure you have 10-20 times that in your savings before daring to drop a penny on a performance mod right now.

Save it for a rainy day, seriously.
