Hey buddy. Pretty car...no more mention of the gto though...lol. I really appreciate your commitment to this country. We get to enjoy modding our cars because of soldiers as yourself protecting our freedom. Stay safe!

why not just use the 10k towards a 2011 Mustang GT? Will be faster and looks good.

Welcome home and thanks for your service to America. Your car is sweet, have fun! I'm going from stock 3.31's to FR 4.10's at the end of this month, can't wait to feel the difference.

@Tylus: Thanks for the feedback on Ft. Lewis. I am from Oregon so I am used to driving in the rain, snow and ice. I do not really have space for an extra set of rims and tires so I will probably just do all seasons and hope for the best!

And also I have had a chance to drive it in snow and ice already and it was not to bad.....


@Sailing220: Good luck with boot man. Just remember that its not the real military and just keep quiet and do what they say and you will be ok. And I am currently deployed so I can't say where I am at, but less than 3 months to go.

@808muscle: That was the plan

@Onegoal: I do not really like the looks of the 2010+ mustangs. I am more of an older muscle car fan vs the sportier look. So I will just work with what I have and not sell it and buy a new one.

@BruceH: The pulley is cheap, so I will probably do it anyways. Unless you guys think it will mess with my stereo...but it is not insane power or anything.


Ok I have been looking at suspension now. This is what I have came up with.

AM Eibach Pro Kit Springs 249.99
Eibach Pro Shocks and Struts 439.99

One of the comments was that you will need to buy camber bolts and an adjustable pan-hard bar. Is this true? Any feed back on this suspension set up would be much appreciated. Thanks for everything!

you do need an adjustable panhard when you lower. My axle was 1/2" pushed to the drivers side at stock hieght. I only did a 1" drop. Had to move the axle almost 3/4" to the passenger side to get things properly centered.

I have a Spohn Adjustable Panhard. Got it directly from them on eBay for $140. Very useful.

edit: btw, you probably will need camber bolts. people will try to get you to buy Camber/Caster plates instead. but they aren't needed unless you plan on road tracking the car.
