Well, 340.00 of the 800 is gone on the Metco LCA's and Steeda black billet antenna.
Have not decided on UCA yet since I have not been able to test the car handling much, I think I will put about 500 miles on the Lca's then decide the next step.
Thanks for the input and I will report back.

next step, FAys2 Watts link or Koni Yellows?
I have looked at options and think these two choices are really going to help, I will do both but which one first?

save your money back up and get the drive shaft. reducing rotating mass makes everything better. it will shift somther, put more power down, and it take abuse much better than the stock 2 peice. light weight drive shafts and short throw shifter are usually my first mods to all the mustangs i have had. and my next purchase will deffinaty be Aluminum drive shaft for this car.

Koni Yellows by far will outweight a driveshaft or a watts link. Honestly, if you don't plan to track your car at all, a watts link is a little much. The Koni's are going to transform your car, for the better.

Koni's may be the ticket, I am not too far away from having the funds to get them, but then I will have to address the OE strut mounts, which will be another 300 or so to do them right.
The Fays2 watts link would just be 700 plus labor.
I have no idea what a Shaved Trunk is, could someone please enlighten me?

Thanks, now I know what a shaved trunk is, but I like my spoiler and GT emblem, etc., besides I am a lot more interested in handling/performance than cosmetics.
Thanks for the info.

You are correct I probably will not lower the front, but I have been told that if I can adjust camber, hence the camber plates, it will also improve handling. So if I am going to adjust camber, it looks like I would need camber plates and then just do the shocks,plates and new alignment all the same time.
Any flaws in that plan?
I am always open for help,
Oh yea, the reason I can't use the gt500 mounts is I would then have to use 2010 version struts, Koni now has 13 version struts and they will not work with gt500 mounts.
