buying new mustang...


wats up guys i have a 89 gt which is dame near mint IMO i use that as my get up ans go car and im putting a turbo on it over the winter... i dun really like to drive it to much unless im going to the track or car meets and things like that... and i dun like to drive slow cars and im pretty much addicted to mustangs. so im buying a 88 gt 5 speed today for pretty cheap price has some good parts needs some paint.. i want the car to be able to handle better then stock and be a all around good street car not really looking to be fast just something i can drive and enjoy but still be able to mess around a bit when i want to..handling and breaking is my main concern what can i do....thanks alot guys

Those are good^. Also get springs like the eibach prokit or simular that lower 1-1.5" and are progressive rate. Not too stiff for the street and get some shock and struts. Also get caster camber plates. Maybe even some stiffer sway bars eventualy.

HEY, I have the same project going on at this time. So far, I have KYB AGX adjustable struts and shocks, FRPP "C" springs, Eibach sway bars (front & rear), Hotchkis upper and lower control arms, 17x9 on Nittos 555 (F) 245/45 & (R) 275/40, Cobra front (13in) & rear (11in) disc brakes. Plus your usual intake & exhaust upgrades.

This Mustang is by far the funnest thing on 4 wheels I've owned. It handles as if on rails and accelerates/brakes better than my 2008 GT. Between purchase price and upgrades I'm $8k in the hole. DAMN it is worth it.

So in short my friend, you are going in the right direction. Cheers...P (haulin' ass & burnin' gas!!!)
