imputting together my list of the things i want to be ordering soon - most of it is available on v6mustang stuff - was wondering about opinions on the stuff i picked, and the prices they charge (is that site the same as completeexhasut, where i can call and get a cheaper price? or is the web page accurate..)

Ford Racing Gears 4.10(ss) 209.99
Ford T-Lock Differential(ss) 189.99
T-Lock/Gear 7.5in Installation Kit 109.99
ASP Underdrive Pulley 99-03 161.99
Bilstein Front Strut(SS) x2 373.98
Bilstein Rear Shock(SS) x2 189.98
Ford Racing Subframe Connectors 99.99
Ford Racing Strut Tower Brace 124.99

i also plan on getting that 320$ catback from completeexhaust(magnaflow)

here are some of the quetsions i have, and i am open to any opinions that i havent asked about as well-


is the ford t-lok ok, or shuold i go with something better. this is a daily driver - i want the t-lok mostly for bad weather and traction.
again, as a daily driver, should i go with the 4.10s or 3.73's? it in an automatic, so i dont know if id like the 3.73s but if im driving it around town a lot with the occasional highway driving, would 3.73s still give me a decent kick while being more practical, or should i just go 4.10s

the price there for gears was FRPP i think - is FRPP required, or is motive ok... on mustang tuning they have motives for a bunch less, but i dont want crappy quality)

is that too much for an underdrive pulley?

i know the bilsteins are expensive, but i really want to improve the ride as much as a ic an (its a convertible, so it needs help). i dont plan on lowering so i am keeping the stock springs for now. what kind of improvement will i notice with the bilsteins and the chassis stiffening?

Those prices are rather high if you ask me. Have you tried www.summitracing.com ?? Shop around some more and I'm sure you can save big bucks. try some of the sites that advertise on here also. you could also pick up a copy of Muscle Mustangs and Fast Ford magazine and check out the companies that advertise in there also, they have a lot of mail order parts vendors in that mag.
The 4.10 gears will be OK with a V-6 especially if you do mostly city driving.
That price for the underdrive pulley sounds awful high to me, but I'm not that familiar with the prices for the newer engines, especially a V-6, so like I said, shop around some more before you order anything.

why not go to a 8.8 rear?.. gears should be around 150.00 shipped have seen them for 139.00 FMS ..roundman summit is high

roundman

yeah but they are hard to beat for some FRPP stuff and I also told him to shop around other places too before he buys anything so there!
