Default Cleaned Up and Ready for the Camera

Hey guys, I got this 2005 GT almost a month ago and finally got a couple decent pictures after a trip to the car wash.





So far I have put on a C&L intake with a Bama tune, Borla Stingers, sequentials, and a push button start. I've got a lightbar waiting to go on, and just ordered some Steeda UDP's today. I've also got some hood pins, but I think I'm gonna wait on those until I can get a shaker system to put in. Also installed a set of hood struts, those make popping her open way easier than the stock prop rod. The weather's been great here the past couple days so I've really been enjoying her! Oh and feel free to chime in on what my next mod should be, after going through some audio clips I'm thinking BBK LT headers with an O/R X-pipe. Thanks for checking it out!

Beautiful ragtop. For me, the next mod would be to lower it. It sits way too high in the rear.

Thanks, yeah the dealer I got it from also is a Roush place, so I considered getting the suspension kit from them. I really don't know much about suspensions...ok well, anything, but most of the reading I have been doing has been for more HP mods. Any opinion on which suspensions are pretty good?

Suspensions are like the motor, you gotta tune it to suit you and what you using it for.

Welcome to the addiction, it seems like you have caught the mod bug hard already. I would say drop it a little, put some wheels on it. Then you got a lot already done.

Best advice, Call Sam Strano or go to Stranoparts.com...let him know what you're looking to do and take his advice. The man KNOWS suspensions!
