Damn nice deal for the miles on that car. try tint,lowering springs and a shorty antenna. and lm1s with the factory midpipe should sound decent. Bu if you decide to run them with an o/r x it will sound kinda crappy/overly loud imo like this

Getting tint and springs next for sure ,
Do I just need the kit or should I go for plates and shocks also?

I don't know about plates unless you want to autocross, but get decent adjustable shocks and struts to go with the springs at the very least. Totally changes the characteristics of the car.

If you're going more than 1.5 inches plates and shocks and struts would be a good idea. Springs make the car look 20x better. Which ones were you thinking

I can't edit on my phone but I liked my lm1s with the stock midpipe. When I got my x pipe I swapped the lm1s for powerflos but now I kinda want to try lm2s

I have those and love them they dont give you a slammed stance and they the car a slight rake and cc plates are not needed for those springs.

Hey, I'm famous. On the C-Springs link, the forth picture (silver Mustang under the bridge). That's me...lol...

However, I cut the dead coils off the rear for an additional 3/4" drop sometime after that picture was taken. Good springs with a good ride quality. Highly recommend.
