Talking New member here, and I am helping out a friend.

Hi guys,

My name is Steven, and I am here to learn more about mustang stuff because currently a body of mine bought a 2012 Mustang GT. He would like some work done from me since I got plenty experience working on JDM cars.
I have done some research before I resister.
It seems to me that from 2010 up to 2012 have same chassis. Is there any other difference?


1. coilover

I was reading if once the car got lowered, there were couple things that need to be addressed such as panhard bar, LCA relocating..etcs
Could anyone explain this to me?
What's the option for coilover kit since he doesn't want springs set up for his model?
Where I can order to get the best price?

2. headlights
My friend and I have looked into Americanmuscle.com
We found this http://www.americanmuscle.com/headli...roj-2010.html#

it seems a good deal, however, he wants to have HID for his projector headlights. I was reading the package, and I have noticed the HID kit is not including the package. Anyone have their headlights let me know more details.
Also, I have noticed he only has 1 light bulb. Is he hi/low share the same light bulb?

Welcome.. Just type key words and read some of the old threads. I'm currently doing some research on lowering and reading some of the old threads have been very helpful..

b15azn,

Welcome to MF! You will find some great reads on here.

We do not recommend HID's with after market headlights. There is already so much going on up front on these cars & Yes they run off of the same bulb!

Hit me up if you have any questions or need assistance!

Hi dan, do you have any direct contact numbers? i would like to place an order directly from you, and before that I would like to speak with you if that's possible. I just called in, and Heather told me the best is contacting you here via PM but I can't pm you in some reason..
