Just purchased 1999 GT convertible one owner with 69k on it. The car is factory original with no aftermarket parts. I am wanting to lower car with ford C springs, install saleen style 18/9 10 staggered wheel tire package, J&M caster camber plates, tokico shocks struts, cold air intake kit, & convertible styling bar. Have my shopping carts full at American Muscle and also at Cruizin Concepts, both are about the same on prices, which is better to order from? Have read through numerous post on here trying to figure out best bang for the money. Wondering if anybody else on here have installed exact same parts, and if they are happy with results. Also need to know if I have forgotten anything that I might need to make this look and ride the best. Thanks for any advice provided, foyboy.

You found a stock Mustang GT? Wow that is crazy! Welcome to the forum and I suggest getting parts from AM> They have excellent customer service and are very good to deal with.
I couldn't believe it myself, that it is totally stock, still has cheap paper air filter in it. Have read the forums on traction control, trying to figure out if I have it on or off. Is there a light in the switch that comes on when its engaged?

Welcome to the forums. Go with American Muscle as the others have said. As far as the traction control, I would turn it off. It is automatically turned on every time you start your car. Just hit the button to turn it off. You can of course get a hand held tuner that will turn it off, but hitting the button vs. spending $400 is a no brainer in my book.
Once again, welcome to the forums.
Enjoy!

Welcome to MM and congrats on the new ride! I've never used Cruzin Concepts but AM is great. I didn't see a tuner on your list, if it was me I'd bag the $400+ on the cai and styling bar... and start off with an SCT X3 w/ tunes for life.. Even more so if your new pony is an auto..
I understand what your saying about traction control "just turn it off everytime the car is started". What I am wanting to know is if there is an "idiot" light in the swithch or on instrument cluster that comes on or off with traction control. Or do I just dump the clutch and light tires up to verify for sure if it on or off. Hope you says there's a light.

American muscle is like the walmart of mustang stores. Buy where ever you want but i like places like UPR and lethal performance.

The traction control button should turn orange after you press it. Then you know it is off. You will be able to tell for sure if it isn't off.
