Seems like everytime i get some money to do something big i have no idea what i want to do, and cant make up my mind. i keep going back and forth between tubular K & headers or wheels n tires. anyone else like this?

Dude, im the same way. Im gonna be in this dilemma this summer. I'd do wheels and swing for some lowering springs or something like that. But this summer Im doing the suspension but after that im unsure of what i wanna do. Options include another set of wheels...like nice wheels, T56 swap, start building my motor. Its all up in the air. I think for now im just going to do the coilovers on all 4 corners, IRS bushings, and then start making big decisions.

what wheels and tires are you looking at? i usually put performance ahead of looks.

Teej, you are the worst at going back and forth. You have thrown around a million different ideas for your car lol

As do I. Bo, I think you would benefit from new tires, I mean as long as they are DRs.

Haha well now im at least sticking to the overall goal, just dont know what i wanna do first!!! lol im sticking to the suspension goal this summer like its my job, but i dont know whether i wanna foot the bills for some sexy as hell wheels, get a transmission that will actually work, or start building the motor to drop in next summer. lol its a never ending dilemma i have. lol

lowering would be looks and performance. after that I would do headers and K

chrome 03 cobra's with 315 555r's out back. i would probably pick up some fox 4cyl spring and cc plates to lower it as well! but then again i really want to see a 7 sec 1/8th mile. though the Drag radials might give me that but i doubt it.

Im not a fan of 03 cobra wheels on a mach. just opinion though. just something with the lines and the black accents that makes me scream black bullitts. lol which tubular k-member were you looking at and which longtubes???

Still considering chrome saleens, Black fr500's ( 17 vs 18?) and saleen sc's.

I was looking at PA racings kit that came with struts, CC plates, coil overs, tubular A arms and K member with my choice of spring. or UPR's kit.

Header wise Mac Long tubes no questions asked. saw the way they tucked up on ( i forget his name, black GT, black fr500's, in the airforce.) guys car and decided on those with a catted x.

im also considering 275 NT05R's, battery relo kit, fox springs, control arms, and some lakewood 90/10's and see how far in the 7's i can go.

really dont wanna spend over $1500 since Stang week is in 2 months.

I know you said you were set on Mac headers. One thing to think about is with those headers you can't drop the tranny without taking the passenger side header off. And on my car to make it easier I drop the K member to get to the header. Overall, a lot of extra work just to get to your tranny. If I had to do it again I would have went with headers that would allow me to drop the tranny without having to take the header off.

Sticky tires, battery relocation, control arms and 90/10 struts would be helpful. If you are fine with the ride height I wouldn't lower it as the stock springs are just fine and better than lowering springs for launching.
