Ahhh C'mon Gabe! I come from the mini truckin scene , you're not going to do any REAL damage to the car... Trust me get out there and put it together its gonna be therapeutic! My ex cheated on me and left me at the end of October... Her bouncing is the whole reason I have this car... I can almost garunatee that you won't hurt anything on that driveway! Do it man! Do it!

Does tragedy motivate most mustang purchases? I bought mine as a happy divorce present for myself.

Where's the like button!?! Hahaha

I work 6 sometimes 7 days a week and 10 -14 hrs a day... I've wanted a "5.0" since I was a kid. The new ones came out and I fell in love! My ex told me more than once I needed to quit living in fear of my daughters mother and live my life... So I sacked up and bought MY hot rod after everything fell apart. Needed a change and an act of self preservation.

Coincidently my daughter fits quite comfortably and loves Daddy's new car...

I bought after my motorcycle accident, found it on my iPhone while three doctors were working on my compound fractured left forearm. As soon as I could shift I bought my GT Manual

Yes...I'm quite sure 9/10 therapists agree....The 5.0 brings a spark back into ones life. Also, there are very few side effects...other than always grinning or chuckling and the occasional black stripes on the pavement .

Did you wind up trimming the bump stops on the dust boots? I have them but no one ever said whether they trimmed them and used the replacements from Ford or just went with the ones on top of the dust boots. Thanks.

Since we talking springs... I see some springs with or without the isolators on the for the fronts. Does it matter? The ford racing have them, but the isolator is so far up, it doesn't touch the strut... ( metal on metal )

I noticed this also. I left the isolators where they were but was uncomfortable having metal on metal so I purchased new isolators and installed them like the OEM springs were. No noise what so ever. I figured they were cheap insurance and couldn't hurt anything.
