I have had my GT for about a year now. I have only done the gt500 exhaust, and ford racing tune. Well I am happy to say I made a massive purchase today. One hell of a Christmas gift for myself. Last year was the stang, it looks like I am treating myself again this year haha. Here is what i got.

Suspension goodies:
1) Ford OE Mustang strut tower brace
2) steeda Rear shock tower brace
2) Koni yellow struts (05-10)
3) Koni Yellow shocks(05-10)
4) Ford racing GT500 strut(11-14)
5) Steeda Ultralight springs(05-14)
6) Steeda adjustable panhard bar

Non suspension goodies:

1) Steeda ultimate induction pack!
2) raxiom navigation
3) Boss 302 quad pipes(processing crossing my finger that it doesnt get cancelled.
4) coyote third brake light.

Oh wow I cant wait!!

I would really appreciate input on my suspension choice. I most likely will need a uca to adjust pinion angle. I will first install it and see if my pinion angle is off. Also I want to make sure the 05-10 shock/struts works with the gt500 mounts on my 2014.

I just got an email that they dont have the boss 302 pipes in stock :/ . I NEED lto get them, anybody know if i could maybe just get the actual boss 302 pipes?

The kit is getting difficult to obtain at the moment (maybe forever). There's an active thread in 2010-2014 with discussion on this and a few sources.

Having recently installed the kit, I think you could use Boss parts if they haven't been discontinued as well. However I've only seen the Boss undercarriage in photos. Also I priced just the three main pieces (h pipe and sides) and it was like $1200! I don't know if that includes the restrictors and gaskets and stuff. You'll also need the attachment hardware for the side pipes (two bolts).

Ford has to produce replacement parts for 7 years after the original was sold. For the 2012 Boss, that is 2019. You need to get a VIN from a Boss owner on here and have the parts guy plug it in to the parts catalog to see if they can get service replacement parts for it...

Great thanks guys, wish me luck. I am calling and looking everywhere for it.

I was told that they don't make the parts separately? They are only sold as kits. Maybe I was misinformed.

Your gonna love those Koni yellows man! Ive got the yellows with Steeda sports and J&M CC plates + Steeda phb and wow what a diference. Im running my Konis on 1/2 turn from full stiff and zero body roll with a resonable ride for daily. Congrats!

Thanks, I found one last kit and payed a hefty price.

Wild5.0

Thanks for your input, thats great to hear! I hope I am not missing anything, hopefully wont need cc plates. I think the Ultralight springs lower more, i am curious why you choose the sports over the ultralights? I had a real hard time choosing between the two.

Drop the pipes and get an extremely useful mod. MGW shifter.

Wild5.0

Cant drop the pipes since I already bought it. But believe me iI will get that soon. Although i havent missed a shift with the stock shifter, shifts nice

laserred38

How many miles do you have? Mine got worse at about 1k miles. At 1500 I put the MGW on lol

Wild5.0

Lol I got 23k miles. My brother complains about missing third, but personally I have never missed it or grinded. Only the usual minor second gear grind when its cold.

Anybody have the steeda watts link? I am thinking of adding that.

lakeguy77

Didn't you already order the panhard bar?

But a Watt's link is the way to go if you've got the $$$. And it looks like you need no convincing on Steeda's quality. So why wouldn't you?

Wild5.0

Yeah true. Sounds good, I can't wait to see how differently my car will handle. I feel like a little kid opening every package. Lol

lakeguy77

I know how you feel. I'm collecting my parts over time as I can't dump that much into one purchase. But I'll have it all set to go once the car comes out of storage in spring.

Sounds like a great list. You'll love the suspension. I need to upgrade my STR.t's to yellows soon for the adjustability and need to get stiffer springs. Looking at the HR race or steeda competition based on how I use the car.

Have heard nothing but great things about the watts setup. It's on my list but down below roll bar and harnesses

Enjoy your new parts!

Wild5.0

Awesome thanks, I am wondering with this setup will my car handle as good if not better than the boss 302?

silverstate777

I don't have any first hand experience with your suspension setup, but I suspect that you will enjoy the handling improvement.
