What now?

Wonderwyrm · 11-12-2006, 09:20 PM

So I have Steeda pulleys (thanks stage2roush), and a BBK CAI, 70mm TB/plenum, and a spacer coming sometime later this week (thanks stormsgt). Anyhow im done with performance parts (for now, looking at getting 4.10 gears in a few months).

Looking at some visual upgrades. Was thinking maybe some springs to lower the car a bit, not sure what else after that. Any suggestions?

So youve already got a plenum, yet your getting a spacer too? I say get rid of the CAI and spacer so you can get those 4.10's faster.

there alrdy paid for!!

personally im not in a rush for the gears, tax return will most likely get me those, although all the talk about them on these boards, makes me wish i had my w2 already hehe

You can still sell them. They are worthless, youll be better off without them and spending the money on something else.

Guess you dont want any side advice...

As for springs Id go with eibach pro kit or steeda sport springs for a 1.5" drop. Or h&r's for a 2" drop.

i have yet to see a set of h&rs give a 2 inch drop. if they do, springs are cut. steeda sport springs are the same as ford c springs which is about an inch drop. h&rs stuff is around 1.5 for sports and supersports.

nah not that, the pulleys are alrdy on the list, just not right now is all

TClark22 · 11-13-2006, 05:24 AM

i would go with H&R supersports or sports...the ss get you around 1.8" in the front and a little less in the rear. and the sports will get around 1.5 or so around.

but wheels are always a good appearance mod

*03gtmustang* · 11-13-2006, 06:49 AM

C springs are more then an inch, close to 1.5". H&R's are close to 2".

STEEDA
Sport Springs
• Sport Springs lower the car 1” to 1-1/4”

Competition Springs
• Lowers the car approximately 1-1/4”

Quote:

These Ford Racing Springs (C-Springs) will lower your car 1"-1.25".

c springs and super sports are too stiff for most street driving. they'll beat you up too much. b or f springs or regular sports are the best option for a daily driver. if you don't drive much/far/regularly then c's and SS are ok but still too stiff for most peoples comfort.
