Mods for Christmas?

Green_6er · November 16th, 2011, 09:29 AM

I am stuck between lowering springs and C&C plates or a tuner. which will i get the most benefit/most smiles per dollar? or if you have other suggestions let me know. $300-$400 is my limit.

Springs are pretty nice, but i bought my tuner before my springs and id do it that way all over again.

SlowSix · November 16th, 2011, 11:20 AM

Tuner, cut your springs. Boom.

iPAPKE · November 16th, 2011, 12:12 PM

Tuner, best choice I've made.

xtreme 2 · November 16th, 2011, 12:13 PM

Used springs, used tuner. Screw CC plates unless the alignment people tell you you need them. $30 for camber bolts is a lot cheaper than $200 for plates unless you are racing and need the constant adjustment.

That would work too. I got a used tuner for like $200

lol

Green_6er · November 16th, 2011, 09:54 PM

the springs? i don't want to cut mine because i am saving all of my stock parts so that way i can return it mostly to stock too sell it when i get a Mach or GT in the future. so i am kind of leaning towards the tuner, but i am a manual and i already have a code reader and i have also heard that the tune doesn't give that much more power.

whyxitx · November 17th, 2011, 12:15 AM

i got springs/ C/C plates for < 225$ used. Check Craigslist.

That would require taking my tune back to stock, and my car would run like total shit on the stock tune...

in my area its all either fox parts or stock parts. never aftermarket parts. so craigslist is out of the question. it took me like 4 weeks to wait until for 1 sway bar to come up...

dgt_mustang · November 17th, 2011, 09:19 AM

Tuner.

My mods for christmas are:
Gears
T/lok - got it, not installed
Windstar
Shocks/struts
lowering springs

Green_6er · November 17th, 2011, 09:21 AM

what are the benefits of the tuner? and how much more power will it give me with say, the 87 tune?

SlowSix · November 17th, 2011, 09:49 AM

Idk about 87 but a 93 tune will give you probably 10 rwhp/10 ftlbs

My Christmas list consists of getting my car back....
and then 4.10s which I found and maybe my friends old racing seats.

SNmustang95 · November 17th, 2011, 09:51 AM

If your gonna get a tuner, I think you should get something performance wise that will benefit from the tuner as well.

Skargon · November 17th, 2011, 10:38 AM

Buy an old beat up 5.0 for 200$ and fix the motor up and leave the body crappy.
Money well spent.

Get 2 all nighters with the same hooker.
Money well wasted. :B
