Default Which one should I buy?

I have so far 255 dollars to spend on my mustang because of my birthday. The only problem I have is that there are too many choices for me. Need opinions on what i should order.

I assume you put leaf springs in the list because they are worn out and you need them. That would give them higher priority over the things you want but don't need.

They aren't worn out just thought that if i replaced them it would raise the rear and drop the front.

I want the headers. Parents aren't sure about them because i would need exhaust work done to put them on.

You have a clean looking car. I would save a little more and get some rims... you are half way there. Chicks dig cool cars with cool rims. Hot girls would not care about one thing on your list.

That's not a good assumption to make. I know from experience. I bought new leaf springs because I didn't like how the rear end sagged. Replacing the leaf springs made zero difference. I wound up taking my original springs and having them re-bent. I also put 620s on the front. That combination is what worked for me.

If you live anywhere near Houston, I'll sell you a pair of like-new leaf springs cheap.

If it was me I'd go with the headers, but like noroof66 said, if you save up a little more then wheels would be another good option.

well since you have a 6 cylinder, it would be 1 header, so it should be fairly inexpensive.

The suspension on your car looks to be at a decent ride height so I wouldn't worry too much about leaf springs or dropping it at the moment. Maybe you'll be better off with just new shocks for a better ride?

Don't get the gauges, you don't need them.

Keep saving and swap in a V8! jk
