I just ordered a Deep impact blue 2014 Prem. V6 with MCA pkg., glass roof, comfort pack and 3.31 gear. I know I want to lower it right away but I'm trying to decide between Eibach pro-kit which I have on my current mustang and love or the Steeda sport springs because they offer a little more drop which I want. Has anyone had springs from Steeda? Also, and this is probably my main dilemma, I want to have more power right away so I want to install cai, 73mm tb, and a tune. So I guess my main question is should I do the suspension first or power?

Should have done power first with a new GT instead!!

Congrats on your purchase!!

I am in the process of going with power mods as I thought it more important to have go. My end goal is to build a sleeper anyway. After those are completed if I deem it as necessary Ill start in on the suspension.

This is the plan of action I recommend:
1. 93 octane
2. Tuner
3. Gears
4. LCAs
5. CAI
6. Stickier tires
7. Springs/shocks/dampers
8. Driveshaft
9. Throttle body
10. Sway bars/strut brace

I have ported manifolds but haven't had time yet to install them so can't tell you yet how they would do. I would also recommend long tube headers but depending on how much you like or dislike noise, you may need to avoid them.

Nah, I have heavy foot syndrome and I like the gas mileage I'm getting now since I use it as a DD. Plus I got a great deal on the one I ordered.

In order:

0) Window tint
1) Shocks/springs
2) Panhard bar or watts link
3) Wheels/tires
4) Sway bars
5) Brakes - at least get slotted/dimpled rotors, better pads, and steel braided lines, but if you have real money to spend, upgrade to baer, wilwood or brembo brakes (need at least 18-inch wheels for the big money upgrade).
6) Drive shaft

Now that the car can handle the speed, add the speed:

7) Tune/CAI
8) BBK Throttle body
9) Sleeper's ported intake
10) Headers
11) 2.5-inch cat-back system (with resonators)
12) If your car is an automatic, add the adaptive shifting reset mod described in the sticky threads at the allfordmustangs.com 2011+ V6 forum.

Sounds good, I have some of this on my current Mustang but I went Suspension first. I think I will do performance first this time.

I have the Steeda sports springs. They look incredible on this car. Perfect height and they handle really well.

Yea I seriously considering the Steeda springs this time. I love the Eibach pro-kit but I want it to be a little bit lower than what they offer. Can you post a pic of your car?

Jay@Hypermotive

If you want to be a little lower take a look at the Sport Lines or H&R supersports. We've started doing a lot more with the V6's. As far as tunes go, I'd really suggest going with VMP my customers have been extremely happy with his work. His response time is a little slow but his service is fantastic. Let us know if we can help you out, there are great opportunities to make your car a beast. I will agree with some of the comments and say suspension and a few brake upgrades should be first. Give us a shout: info@hypermotiveperformance.com and we'll set you up with a great package!

Thanks for the advice everyone. I already have a tuner w/ free tunes I got from A.M. I will order the Steeda Sport springs and try them out probably with Koni struts & shocks. I'm not gonna mess with the brakes until I'm putting down a lot more hp than stock or I start going to the track. Don't really see a need to.

Some where in your mod plan I'd definitely pick up a catch can for the pcv side (passengers) to keep your intake clear of oil/gas/gunk that the pcv recirculates.

db2797

Sure..here's a couple of pics. This is with 19" wheels.

Ajcruz1

Thanks db2797 looks awesome! I think my mind is made up. Do you still have stock shocks and struts or did you change them out?

db2797

Yes I still have the stock shocks and struts. Honestly the car handles just fine for me. I do have upper and lower control arms installed though. So that helps too.
