Default aftermarket products

Ok i pride myself in being able to find really good deals, but i have been looking around at some of the things for my car to make it a personal mustang and not just the generic mustang. So far i have done very well on the prices of the two things i have done. BUT i see so many of you with a ton of customised options. I went and priced some of these and WOW the costs are HIGH. One of those being i would like to give mine a more muscle car stance and do the "drop you call it" i have looked into prices and such best i have found for springs and installed is like 700.00 or so. Where are some good places to find these aftermarket stuff for good prices. Otherwise i'll be saving for ever lol

Sadly, aftermarket parts are not cheap.

I think she means the cost of the springs and the install combined.

if you just want springs look at american muscle they are about $200

if you want a steering pack look at steeda they have the handling for about $850 and the G-track for about $550

Haha I'll gladly assist. But there's a line, my dad wants me to replace the front bumper on his truck first. I already got the thing off (was a pain, the metal twisted against the frame, I had to hammer the thing out. Now I need to straighten out the chassis with a winch or something), now I just need to install the new bumper.

yea sorry this thread got buried on me, yes that was full installed for eibach pro kit i think, 1-1 1/2 drop. But that is out of my price range. I really want the drop as the next mod as i like the stance it gives our v6 and gives it that american muscle look. so all you need is the springs?

i live in dallas ,,,, well lived, i travel a ton for work, right now in san diego and monday i'll be outside LA but if i can get the lowering done for around 400 i'll really start looking to get it done soon
