That and I was stuck on how to mount a few bits, but by now I've gotten less picky and the EQ might just get mounted under the drivers side dash.

I'm tired of listening to the radio.



Really? What's left? Strap the rockets underneath??
It's really not that hard to wire up a system. I've done it a few times. Running the wires isn't bad usually. Helps you learn how to take some more pieces off the stang lol

My biggest issue is that I won't be using really any of the stock wiring harness. I might use it's power since it's already running to it's own 20A fuse, but I'm installing a Nexus as my head unit, so I'll have a lot of custom wiring to do. I have a schematic that I drew out last December or so, just need to get a few more pieces and actually do it! I'll be calling you guys if I break something, haha.

Never heard of that brand of spring. Can't wait to see the results.

How much has everyone invested in their sound system? I'd love to upgrade, but there are other things that usually take priority, next for me is tires before Winter.

I refreshed the tranny fluid today. I just drain the pan which is usually about 2 qts. I do it every couple months to cycle out some of the old fluid. The car has 73k on it now and will be paid for next summer. I'd like to keep this one for myself to tinker with and get a GT for the wifey.

I think I have about $500-600 in my system but I bought it all 3-4 cars ago. I just keep removing and re-installing it. I usually run it off of the stock radio in order to keep it stealthy. I had to buy a new radio for this car so I made sure I got one with Bluetooth.

I need to change my tranny fluid soon.

Vogtland makes the springs for several companies. They make the Steeda Ultralites while Hypercoil makes the Sports.

Can't wait to see the stance once they get installed.

Looking forward to seeing the stripes.
