I saw this thread over in the sixxer section, figured we could make one over here. If your like me I get on here to see what other people do to there mustangs to get ideas of what to do to mine (and like to look at pictures!). Anything from performance mods to custom painting in the interior could be thrown around here. I will start it off... I added SLP Loudmouth exhaust to my 2008 GT over the weekend, I will add pics tomorrow!

Adjustable upper with spherical bushing, Adjustable lowers with front poly bushing rear spherical, relocation brackets, upgraded upper mount, swap to grade 8 true 14mm bolts to eliminate clunking, you should be happy with that set upLowering it alongside the arms. It is my daily driver and I am going for more of a corner carver than drag.
I am putting a Watts Link in instead of a panhard bar and I live locally to BMR so I get the local discount already.
Also, I'll be replacing shocks/struts/springs all at once.

Doing the upper is a pain in the ass. Unless you really need to adjust it, I wouldn't see a reason to get it. I think the only time it's required is when you use a one piece drive shaft and need to correct the pinion angle.

I ordered wheels and tires today! Wheels are Enkei PF01's in 18x9 with 45 offset. Tires are Hankook RS3's in 265/40/18.
Before anyone asks the dumb question... because racecar. The class I race in has a maximum wheel width of 9" wide and a maximum tire width of 265. It sucks, but that is what I have to work with.
That said, I'm excited. the PF01's are 19.3lbs each and combined with the 265's I will drop 35lbs from the car and all of it is unsprung rotating weight! WINNING!
I'm giddy as all get out! :bubba:

I'm keeping the stockers for DD/Rain wheels/tires. The Star Specs will serve that purpose reasonably well. I just needed to save them so that they DO work in the rain because the new tires, wont... well, at least not very well. Once the Star Specs wear out the stock wheels will get shod with some Continental ExtremeContact DW tires and I'll DD/Rain those!
Besides, my stock wheels are NOT in good condition, you wouldn't want to buy them from me anyway.

Im going to change the oil today, possibly swap the valve covers so I can Re-do mine, and maybe repaint the brake calipers.
Any tips on how to keep the brake fluid in the system when I remove the caliper and have an open line? putting a bag on it only helps to catch the fluid as my brakes drain out all over the driveway

It's gonna happen unless you have a cap on it. I've seen people clamp the line, but you wouldn't catch me doing that.
