Thats funny.Ive only run one Mustang with my STi and that was my neighbors Mach 1. I waswanting to see pics to get Ideas for my Mustang I have ordered. There is an unbelievable amount of parts for these cars and Im just trying to see as many different combinations as possible. That and I just like cars in general.

Hey Sti Rob. Do you wanna see pics of his car to see if that's the stang you picked off the other day?

A "little" improvement? I've had mine for about 6 mos. now and I've done all exterior/performance mods. It's becoming painfully obvious that I should have spent some more money on suspension. After the increase in performance, the suspension becomes really bad. My front end points toward the SKY every time I get on it. Too much power, not enough suspension. But, the mustang is in a raw form when you purchase it. SWEET engine with lots of potential and the suspension has lots of potential also, you just have to feed it $$$$.

Ive got my eye on the frpp suspension package but I need to drive a Shelby GT to see if it will suit my needs. When you get those coilovers on your car you wont beleive the difference they make. Im runnung Ohlins coiloverson my STi. It was the last mod I did, it shouldve been the first. Rob

RE: vs WRX STi
Don't even waste your money on the FRPP parts. They suck. Tein makes a killer coilover for the stang. I'm sure you're familiar with them. The only thing that changed my mind about the H&R's is that they are adjustable from 1-2' f/r (Teins are 1.5-2.5 f/r). With my 4' driveshaft I'm worried about clearance problems and the H&R's are quality pieces. I wouldn't buy anything thats not TUV certified and H&R are.

RE: vs WRX STi
Ah yeah, I'm SCT tuned and have the entire JBA exhaust from LT header to axle back. Sounds really mean. The only thing that is bothering me now is the suspension. It'sdesigned for old lady's, seriously...
