Default hi ya

Im a second year Baylor University student in the great and boring place of Waco, Texas. We dont have much to freakin do around here except race and mess with cars and boats unless we drive to Dallas or Austin to party, but oh well, life isnt too bad. I bought my first car two years ago, a then new zinc yellow 03 mustang GT. I havent really had the funds to do much to it yet, but one of these days....

I have already installed MAC H-pipe and mufflers, dual cut-outs, MAC cold air, Saleen front bumper and Saleen sidescoops, interior brushed aluminum kit (which im about to change to a solid yellow for all the trim) and some APC Illum. white guages (couldnt take the boring black).

Anyway im hoping to put some eibach sportlines on it pretty soon because it looks like a freakin four by four at the factory height so if anybody knows of any good deals on a set, let me know.

Welcome! Do you have any pictures of your stang? I'd really like to see the interior dash trim kit.

If you are going with the sportlines you will new need new shocks,struts and camber plates.

i currently dont have any pictures and cant take any pictures because 1) my pictures of my brushed aluminum trim kit are on my computer in my hometown and 2) i cant take new ones because i am currently getting everything ready to put my solid yellow trim kit in. Once thats in, ill be sure to post some pics.

well crap, i didnt know you had to change all of it out. one of my friends with a LT1 camaro and one of my friends with a 98 stang both changed their factories out for eibach sportline and neither have had problems so far so i just thought it would work for mine too. what would u suggest i get as far as shocks and struts?

It will work but you car will be bouncy and it may bottom out not to mention your tires will wear uneven in the front. If you want to avoid all this just get 1 1/2 or less like 3/4 Ford C springs. IMO any dropped car should have shocks,struts replaced as the factory ones do not perform well in a different ride height and will blow out prematurely.

I have seen some kits but you can just do the springs if its less than 1 1/2 but with 2 in you have to get it all at once. Steeda,Saleen,Roush etc have kits as well at many others.

Welcome aboard man...
PS: Cut-outs on 4.6's=HP/torque loss! They do wonders for ls1's though.. :blob6:
