Yep... liked the looks of them, so I put some on. I don't try to pass my car off as anything it's not. It's a 4.0 car with some nice options, and some mods that I wanted it to have thats all. The emblems were clean looking, and I wasn't much of a fan of the factory "Mustang" side stripe so it went away.

Think outside the box...

Yeah but putting things on your car that makes people think your car is faster is the definition of rice.
my car had some cobra badges on when i bought it and as soon as i got the money i chopped them off and put some nice '232' badges from http://www.autobadges.com ---as u should too.

but its your car so w.e.

The definition of rice is an import. Fords are not. The emblems you have are ok, but not what I wanted. I've had lots of cars over the years (just sold a plum crazy purple 440 Challenger), and not a single one of them were built for anyone else but me yano? Not worried if someone else likes it or not really. If they do, cool, if not, I'm really ok with it lol

ANYways...............



just go for the H&R SS springs...i have the Eibach Pro-kit right now and the stance is really good...but the ride quality sucks on anything but smooth roads...they are actually TOO soft now that they have settled...i have adjustable KYB AGX shocks and struts and i have them set at 50% "stiff"...any softer and the car is 2x softer than stock!...any stiffer and it just does NOT feel right with the dampers being a lot stiffer than the springs...you can feel the difference...again i like the stance of the Eibachs (((can't speak for Steedas even though most of their other products are really good quality...my dad's friend had an 03 GT with the Steeda springs and stock S/S that he autoXed and he never complained about the ride although they didn't look as low as i would have wanted my car to be))) but the ride is really bad...i will take the advice from a guy on here who had the same springs i did on his cobra and switched them out for te H&R SS springs and said the ride was a LOT better and the stance was just as good

i don't agree with cobra emblems on a V6 or GT...or GT emblems on a V6 either but i refrained from commenting because a.) i didnt want to hijack; b.) i didn't care because it is YOUR car; c.) i had something to say about his springs question

back to the original post. Stangman-I have eibachs and love them, pro kit. I didnt go with shocks or struts cause money was tight. It is a good idea though. the 1 1/8 -1 3/8 dop will be fine without cc plates but I would suggest buying a pair of camber bolts. I know u can get them at stangsuspension.com. They will align ur car back perfect. about $30 and like 30 to install.
