Koni's and springs went on today. Feels much much nicer than the 94 ever did with virtually the same mods. Feels much much more solid than it did before, even though it gave me a little tail wag when I leaned into the throttle which I was not expecting. I guess the Watts needs a new home.

I really need to point out a huge benefit to this 2000 GT...





Arin has never been naked in its back seat!






At least not that we know of.

Probably the best part about the car.

I am really digging the sprins and the Koni's. Once I get the watts and the seats in I am going to be in heaven.

Your car rides better than mine. I am jealous. Although it tried to kill us more than once today. Had fun though!

That color has always looked good with black accents. Congrats, and welcome to Club BAB!!!!!!!!!!!

Best part of the day was when we tried to jack the seized rotor off. Yeah. I said it.

Hahaha.

I could have sworn that the best part of the day was when you tried to make the car fall on my face... Oh wait. That was the worst.

In all seriousness; thanks a ton for coming down today. I would have never gotten those rear springs done by myself. Especially not that fast. Let me know when you want to trade sway bars, and we can coordinate that with when I want to do the watts link install into the 00.

Sounds good dude. Just replied to your pm. And if it had slipped off the stands I would have used that super human strength that I had putting the old shock in the 94, to lift it until you got out from underneath... I think you "got that one started for me" though, right?

The offramp on my way to work that I would always take at 40 and feel like I was on the edge I just took in the 00 with the Konis and Race springs, and 40 felt easy and slow. I am definitely diggin' the new car.

The matching tires would probably be a good idea. The watts I will not have time to do for a while. My main focus right now is getting good grades so I can transfer soon.

Looking pretty hard for an IRS so I can do the swap I want to do, rather than the swap to what I already had.

If you find one and want to offload the 8.8 with the watts, let me know first, eh?

I put Scott Drake "Powered by Ford" badges on mine, real low key. You will love the way it handles with your suspension mods. With my SC and Kenny Brown suspension I have been able to keep GT 500's behind me on track days. Even with the Vortech SC I never get under 20 mpg. My Scan Gage engine computer usually shows a daily average over 24. I have had my "OLD Raggedy" 2000 GT for 10 years and never get tired of driving it!!!

I had no idea that you had an IRS tacbear.

How do you like it on the track? Have you driven a torque arm Mustang to compare it to?
