Default Bang for your buck!

This is my first post and I think that the best thing you can do to improve your V6 ride and looks is to add just add a set of V8 bullit takeoff wheels to to your stang. I have been reading alot of forums about all the things to improve your ride and handling but for the price and keeping your car stock this is the way to go.

I'd say sway bars.

Well since the Pony Package came with both Bullits and a sway bar, I went the dual exhaust route.

i def agree that the wheels help a bit with handling based off my own experience but i'm with addy on this one. rear sway is still the biggest bang for buck in handling. the difference is very noticeable and a big improvement. GT rear sways are reasonably cheap.

Hey Thanks for the replies. I might have to try the rear swaybar.

Hi, where do you find the V8 takeoff wheels? From people with the GT's that are upgrading their Wheels/Tires? Does it effect the speedometer etc? I really want to put bigger wheels and tires on bad! Thanks, Mark
