Where should I stop?

I'm new to mustangs. After driving my '13 Gt for a year I thought I should lower it a tad and bought H & R sports and Koni yellows and Mm cc plates. Then I thought I should get better bump stops. Then bump steer came to mind so I ordered X-11's and a steeda bump steer kit. Now I'm thinking let's get lower control arms. Question: If I get lower control arms would it be a waste not to do k member also or am I over doing it a bit? What would be benefits with the k? Thanks in advance.

Too late.... You won't be able to stop. You got the mod virus. :-)

Lol. I'm trying to stop myself. There is always another mod to buy. I try to limit myself to my appraisal of my car and what I couldn't stand. For me, this was wheel hop, brake dive, and bouncy ride over uneven surfaces. I fixed all of those issues. Now I have to try and avoid changing parts that make what's good better. I think we all have to at least set a finish line for our projects before we start a new race.

Scottmac2000,

It's a sickness-We all have it pretty bad! That's a good question and I would stick with Lower Control Arms plus a Panhard Bar to keep your axle centered. The K-Member in my opinion would be overkill unless you're seeing yourself going with some type of Forced Induction setup down the road as it would make the install easier, but the main benefit is going to be in relation to weight savings.

Let me know if you have any other questions and I hope this helps!

-Alex

I also caught this sickness. Bought a 2010 GT while I was restoring my 68. Decided to bump the power output by adding a cold air intake and that was "all I was going to do" what a great lie to tell yourself haha. Many mods later and I'm still modding.
