didn't you have 3.90s? When did you get the 4.10s?

I would say springs would be more bang for your buck at this point.
I would get these:

does anyone actually have those springs? I would love to pay the much lower price for springs if they were worth it, but most times you get what you pay for. How much would it realistically lower my 03 GT vert in the front and back and would I need CC plates or a bumpsteer with them?

since i have all the bolt-ons the one i was most satisfied with was to be honest the off-road x-pipe. I just love having the lou sounding exhuast. I would recommend an off-road h-pipe with the Flows. If you think you can get a sticker with no cats than get an off-road h. If not get a Prochamber from MAC. One with cats will be more than $250. I got my offroad X for $200 from BBK. Your exhaust will sound 10 times better with this and an intake won't give you any gains that are noticable and i felt a little difference with the X-pipe. It seemed to keep my RPM's higher. I did my diablotune and UD pullies at the same time so I can't really give any input on the gains from it.

Oh and you can get a plenum and throttle body package for $300 so maybe offer her the extra $25-$50 bills for it.

Do you have a short throw shifter? I love my Steeda Tri-X in my 03 Mach.

Some UDP's, make sure you get non-piggy back with an approved SFI dampener.

i sold the 3.90s on ebay to buy the 4.10s

I would go with steeda UDP`s for $200 or the tri ax shifter for $180. Then take the rest of the money ($70-$90) to put towards your next mod.
