newbie needs mod help
I've got a 99GT with steeda upgrades and looking for some more mods.
1. I have the stock brakes that are due for service. What is the best priced performance caliper/rotor/pad set out there?
2. where can i get the 01 style smoked headlights for my '99?
3. I have a Throtte body upgrade from steeda ( i think 70mm) along with the Mass air sensor and K&N w/fender delete. But utilzing the exisiting piping. What "straight pipe" or cold air pipe should i get, will it make a difference?
4. Is the intake plenum upgrade worth it? Advertised 7-10 hp gain

Go to www.mustangtuning.com and you will find everything you need.
You can find brakes there but it is really all willing on what you wanna pay. If you want THE best I would say get some 13 inch willwood which would run you about $2000 or the 14 inch set that would cost about $4000. Also a good brand thats still a little pricey is Brembo. That whole set will run you about $1100 to $1600. But if you wanna go even cheaper then you can get the Steeda set for about $600.
For the Intake question, I have the Densecharger C.A.I with a ProM 85mm MAM and it breaths great. What ever you get I would say go with Plastic simply because any metal you use will conduct and store heat a lot better which takes away the whole meaning behind a "cold air intake". You can get the whole Densecharger set up and still use the stock pipe for about 350.00 shipped. Thats with the 85mm MAM. Its a really good deal.
I dont think the plenum and TB upgrade is really worth it since the good intakes will run you about $600 to $900. Thats a lot of money for thr 3 or 4 hp its going to give you. Im never going to upgrade those until I get a S/C.
