What would you do?


I am kinda undecided what to do after this spring. I am keeping the 18's and will run a Nitto 555R well the time is right. But after I get my tune and save up again idk to do next?!

I am torn between H&R Super Sports lowering springs

OR

Mac Longtubes and shorty Mac Prochamber

I know when do the LT's I will need a new pulley and tune.

I figure since I don't go to the track more than once a year to race I just lower it!

What would you do?

Now I know everyone will say exhaust but It will end up being more money and a re tune again....

I would go with the lowering springs. Although longtubes and prochamber would sound awesome i can't stand the 4x4 look Mustangs have. I'm gonna do my springs in a couple weeks along with new struts/shocks and camber plates.

I guess I'd personally go with the LT's but I don't plan on ever lowering my car (too many places I already come close to scraping the bumper - stupid hills..). In your case you might be happier with the lowering springs. It won't cost you as much and it will probably give your car a more aggressive look

Scott- You should have removed the jack stands before taking pics... people wouldn't be telling you to lower it then!

With the lowering springs you'll also need to spend some more money for caster/camber plates, offset balljoints, and bumpsteer tierod ends.

So when you add it all up, the LT headers, UD pulleys, and a tune will be less money and provide you with more driving fun.

If you're going to lower your car do it right and buy a complete kit. I love the way mine hugs the tight turns and curves in the road, just wish we had more curvy roads in Florida.

Slam that bad boy down. You have a beautiful car but the space in the wheel wells suck! Lower lower lower. And paint your spoiler matte black.
