Whats up guys im new to the mustang world and at 18 ive just purchased my first dark red 2001 v6 mustang. My list of mods that ive put on it in the past couple of weeks to start out are:

-Custom dual exhaust system
-BBK CAI
-Chin spoiler
-Rear honeycomb blackout panel
-Mach 1 grille delete
-Dark Grey 17" Bullitt Wheels

Im wondering what your thoughts are and what i should do next? Im leaning toward lowering springs and spacers? Perhaps a tune and gears?

lowering it or doing the gears and tune are both good ideas. why spacers? just looking to make it look more aggressive or something? what are your goals for the car in the long run?

Riefesel

i want it too look aggressive and have some kick to back it up

03shadow

i know what you mean. well if you want the kick now then go for the gears and tune. is your car an auto or manual? tune will help either way but with autos it helps a little more. knowing the trans will also help you choose gears too

Riefesel

its an auto, i was thinking maybe 3.27 gears?

d.girardi

correct me if im wrong, but i believe i've heard that 3.73's are the way to go for auto's

03shadow

you already got 3.27 if you have the stock set up. most people will recommend 4.10s for auto. you can also get 3.73s if you arent looking for so much of a jump. if you get an 8.8" rear end from a GT, you also have the option of 3.55s.

d.girardi

not trying to hijack, but what's suggested for manual then?

03shadow

a lot of people say 3.73s. some still go with the 4.10s because they say that 3.73s arent enough, no way to tell but to try it out for yourself and go with what you prefer. supposedly 1st gear with a manual trans will be pretty much useless with 4.10s

i must've had them mixed up then.
