Post must have mods for 2013
#4
Can I get just the springs? or I need to get struts and shock absorbers as well like with the Ford racing kit. It would be nice to have a 1" drop on the car...

But anyways, looks like you are already have 2 "must-have" mods... the other 2 you are missing are:
Springs (I have K springs, imo, must have for looks and improved handling)
MGW Shifter (imo, must have for driveability and feel)

I say Lowering Springs + Koni shocks/struts are must have and I'll do that before any power upgrade. It doesn't matter if you track your car or not, you will notice the difference on the streets and at lest for me it was night and day difference. Do it!!

Yes, you can just get springs, as that is what I have. I'll never wear out my stock susp because I don't track, etc.... and I only will be putting about 2-3k a year.

Fits 2011-2013 Mustang GT Coupe when used with M-18183-C upper strut mounts and M-18000-A Dampers.
So in the case of the Ford P or K springs I need to also buy the mounts and dampers? or I can use the stock parts.
As for the Shifter mine is an Auto so no need...

I say both are optional (especially the dampers) but highly recommended that you replace them both.

My must-haves: wheels I like (I chose black 5-spoke Saleens); exhaust I like (I like Borla); A/S tires (b/c mine came w/ summer & I live in NE); tints (legal for me); "exterior" protection: paint protectant, wax, vinyl; "interior" protection: all-weather mats/liners; "storage" protection: car cover, car port/garage and as much security as I can afford (alarms, sensors, trackers, controllers, etc). Everything else can wait a little bit.

On my 2010 GT I went with just lowering springs first and hated the ride. I then swapped it all out for Koni StrT shocks/struts and Steeda Sport lower springs and the ride and handling were fantastic!!

So far for the 2013 I already have the WeatherTech floor molds and the BBR shorty antenna.
On my list are the following:
* JLT oil separator
* Roush front fascia / foglights / grille
* Roush lower rear fascia and exhaust with square tips
* Roush rear spoiler
* Red-line hood lift struts
* MGW shifter
* Grabber Pony custom shift ****
thats for starters.....
Hoping to have it all here before the car arrives in July

Yes, get yourself a good quality shifter. It changes the feel of driving the car. Even if you're not tracking it, I guarantee you it will put a smile on your face and lead weights in your right foot when you start shifting with it.

Why do you want to make changes? If you can't easily answer that question first, then the parts start flying and the bank account can go down
Kidding aside, are you looking to change something you don't like in the style, ride height, exhaust sound, engine output, NVH, or some other aspect? I don't think there are any "must haves" but rather "want to have to make it mine" modifications.
