Keeping things simple and inconspicuous for the most part .

1. Koni Str.t
2. Unknown Axle backs
3. Steeda Shifter Bracket/Bushing

Everything should be arriving next week. Hopefully have it all installed soon.

 

Should be good. I have that bracket and like it a lot.

 

Thanks, man. Did you install the muffs yourself?

 

Nope. I'm pretty lazy. It's so much easier to drop it off. Most of my stuff was done at GTR in rancho cucamonga. I think you live on SoCal. They do good work.

 

Haha yep I'm in Irvine. I may look for places down this way, but in the end I need to justify the ramps I just bought!

 

I thought you were going to hold off on the suspension mods? Are you going to get some Steeda Sport springs to go with those STR.T's?

 

I love the stock ride height and TP springs actually. I had a change of heart about the stock dampers, though. Don't get me wrong - I'm still happy as is, but feel that a little more control over damping would be welcomed.

I canceled my order for the exhaust lol. I keep hearing other soundclips that entice me.

 

Might as well add springs if you're going to all that work at least the sport springs. Start to get rid of a little of the gap and improve the handling

 

Haha I'm telling you I'm probably one of the few cats around here that likes the Track Pack springs! I figure that if I can't annoy people with my exhaust, then I'll aggravate them with my wheel gap!

 

HA!
I thought I was never gonna lower mine, but a couple/few months ago I did the "55D" rear springs, and I don't like how little they changed the look of the car ... I now have Steeda Sport springs on order, I already have Koni Sport adjustable struts/shocks here along with a couple/few other things ... lol

Good start so far though, especially considering how short a time you've had your car ... lol

 

Lol how long did you hold out?

 

Picked up the car on 8-11-12, ordered the rear springs on 10-5-12 ... so less than 2 months.
Now another 5 months and I'm going lowered all-around ... and I can't wait!

I've lowered the car before the Mustang ('07 Charger R/T AWD), I've lifted the truck before that car ('01 Ranger Supercab 4x4), I've lowered the car before the truck ('95 Taurus SHO), and before then I had cars that weren't really worth doing stuff to, lol ('93 Taurus GL, and my first car, an '84 Ford LTD) ... However, I've never left anything stock ... lol

 

Steeda sports are the perfect drop

 

Gabe - if your '95 SHO was a red 5-speed with gray 50/50 interior we may have been separated at birth. I had one several years ago ( LOVED THAT CAR!! ), and in 2 weeks we'll have nearly identical GTs!

 

@Gabe, sweet mercy man!

@Burke- under consideration my swamp brother. Off topic but I knew a girl named Angela Burke from your hood back in the day.

 

I agree. Great look and enough clearance for most placed. Good amount of travel left still. I think the Koni and steeda sports are a great combo.

 

I hope so ... can't wait to find out first-hand ...

Lol, no, mine was a white automatic, beige 50/50 interior, but I loved it just the same. Had a few mods done to it including a large MAF and a chip, and with a stock redline of 7000, I revved that motor to 7500-7800 every day and it still purred when I traded it in at 93k miles.
Blew the transmission at 90k though ... completely blown up ... I mean, giving it gas from a stop, I had grinding, smoke and the front of the car shaking, all kinds of metal-breaking sounds, and the car coasted to the side of the road, every gear Neutral ... lol

Lol .... yeah, nothing stays stock

Even my Focus is modded now ... FRPP suspension, tinted lights front/rear, Steeda rear sway bar, I even had a sweet set of rims on it but took them off cuz the tires were shot and the stockers give much better mpg's, and the car is now mostly a commuter-duty car, so I want those better mpg's ...

.

 

I took delivery last Nov. 13th, and have so far done the following mods:

Moroso Air-Oil Separator
Boss 302 h-pipe with unrestricted side pipes
Magnaflow Street Series Axle-Back
Boss 302 rear diffuser
LED replacement bulbs for map lights, trunk & license tag
Satin Black 5.0 emblems

Parts to be installed next include:

Koni Yellow Adjustable Struts & Shocks
Steeda Sport Springs
Steeda HD Strut Mounts
Steeda Adj UCA & Chasis Mount
Steeda Adjustable Rear Swaybar
BBR Billet LCAs
FRPP LCA Relocation Brackets
Swaybar Relocation Brackets
SLP Linelock

The only thing I won't do myself is the front-end alignment and adjusting the pinion angle. I'll take it to Steeda for that.

 

Haha that's great.

 

You are not alone, but I did change the springs out. You should feel an improvement with the Koni STR.T's, alone.

Exhaust is going to be a very painstaking and personal choice. Good luck!
