Ok.. So money is getting a little tight now that i bought all the other stuff so i have a few bucks to spend on something.. Here are some of the things I have been looking at:

1 - Upper/Lower Rear Control Arms.. Now I have been told that doing the upper is worthless that I should just do the lower.. I can get the Steeda Lower for 279 or I could spend 309 for the BBK which includes both upper and lower..

2 - Caster Camber Plates - I talk with a lot of people about these.. I was told that the drop I am doing is nothing drastic and it is not necessary to get these but can't hurt

3 - Steeda X-2 Balljoints

4 - Bumpsteer Kit

5 - Ford Racing Brake Kit

6 - Steeda Rear Shock Tower Brace

7 - Save the cash to put towards 18inch Saleen Wheels

Oh, my bad. Mis-read that... I'm not sure how much a rear brace would help, you race any?

I still vote for rims though

yea im 50/50 cuz i do have a set of aftermarket wheels on the stang now.. just some black wheels.. figured it wasnt a rush to go with the wheels if the other stuff was more important but im starting to think that maybe i should just do the wheels since the car is not an every day car and its not gonna be used for racing or course driving or anything.. but 1,000 was a little more than i was looking to spend right now.. but those saleens are sick looking.. i wanna go chrome but i always seem to lean towards the black on silver look.. i see they have black chrome.. not sure what those would look like on the silver stang..

If you already have decent looking rims why would you spend money you dont need. Wait a year or 2 when you have some of this stuff paid off then buy the rims.

The Ford Brake Kit... is that the Cobra/Mach 1/Bullitt kit?

Well the rims that are on there are "ok".. they have mismatched tires and 2 of the rims have some minor curb rash.. nothing horrible but like i said they are ok.. just liked the look of the saleen's...

I dont mind the look of them in the pictures Ive seen. Just get new rubber and theyll be good until you get the Saleens you want. You must be at least 10K in debt right now, no need to dig yourself deeper into the hole.

Can we get a pic of your car to see these "ok" rims?
