    Suspension Mod Hurting Anything?

    I agree that it is better to be safe than sorry! I had the springs installed by a professional and he suggested CC plates because he couldn't get the tires aligned exactly where he wanted them. I will find a shop in Northern VA or go back to this guy as I want to have it riding nicely. Thanks!

    Suspension Mod Hurting Anything?

    The guy that installed my springs took out some sort of "damper" or snubber when he installed the springs. He said it was a part that was no longer needed. Is this true?

    Suspension Mod Hurting Anything?

    How much would it cost to have the CC plates and Tokicos installed (including parts)? I am going to have to do something as the "pogo stick" is not fun to drive right now.

    Suspension Mod Hurting Anything?

    I am running the stock struts and have not changed any other suspension components. The springs were Eibach, I think. I have been considering CC plates, but was unsure as to how necessary they are. I think I will get some suspension tuning done in the spring as this is a weekend driver for me...

    Suspension Mod Hurting Anything?

    Hey all! It's been a while since I have been on the boards as it's been a busy Summer. Anyway, earlier this year, I had my 1998GT lowered with springs. It was nothing radical, just 1 1/2" in rear and around 1" in front. I also had KB weld-in subframe connectors (full length) installed. It...

    reg subframes vs. full length

    I have full length KB weldins on my 1998GT vert, and I love them. They do make a noticeable difference. I would also suggest lowering the car to change the stance. It looks much better to me lower. Just my .02!

    Stalling After Microtuner in 1998 GT Vert

    Hey all! I finally got my 1998 GT vert tuned with the microtuner after battling the "Type 8" error code. Right after I took the car out, I noticed it was struggling to keep above 500 rpms at idle. The computer seems to be fighting it, but it did stall a couple of times when coming to a...

    Anyone with 3.73 gears?

    I love my 3.73's. I guess it's like everything else in life. Even though you may be happy with your choice, you are still likely to wonder "what if"? I say choose your path and be happy with which ever way you go. You can't move forward if you are always looking in your rearview mirror...

    Superchips Error "Type 8"?

    Yes, I did buy the tuner new. After my post, I did some looking around on the net and found a post on modular depot that Stimmler had posted. A tech there answered that he should put back the fuse for the fuel pump and it should work. I followed those instructions and got the retune...

    Superchips Error "Type 8"?

    Hello all! I tried to tune my 1998 GT vert today with my new Superchips Microtuner and I got an error message. The tuner said it had a "Type 8" error and to call Superchips. I am way bummed as it is Sunday and I really wanted to get it retuned today. Does anyone know what this error code...

    Is Pacesetter Exhaust Junk?

    Hey guys. A while back I made a mistake by pulling the trigger on ebay before doing my research (sort of). I purchased a dual exhaust catback Pacesetter exhaust and then decided to go with Flowmaster. So, my question now is whether or not the Pacesetter is a piece of junk or not. I should...

    Installed my gears yesterday.

    Hey! I recently did 3.73's in my 1998 vert and I love them! They are not too high or too low, and give plently of pull (especially over the stock gears)! I also have the Triax and I love it! Sounds like we have similar taste! First gear is not too low, but it is much different than before...

    H-Pipe, Crossovers, Etc. for 1998 Vert?

    Thanks for the reply. This has helped out some. I am wondering whether or not to focus elsewhere rather than put the money into the crossover or h-pipe. I am not sure how much gain I will get with this mod. Guess I'll keep doing research!

    H-Pipe, Crossovers, Etc. for 1998 Vert?

    I am not quite sure of the difference in all of the exhaust components of my 1998 GT convertible. I have done the "standard" mod of FM catbacks. I am considering a crossover or h-pipe, and do not know the differences in them. I understand that the car has 6 catalytics and, since VA is an...

    I thought that they had been shut down or closed up shop. Have you used them lately? If so, do they do good work? I had read a lot of negative about them around a year ago. :shrug:

    Need Help Installing Clear Corners!

    Thanks for the reply. After I posted this, my computer (or this server) went wacky and I could not log on to check for replies. So, I did it the old fashioned way and realized all that you have said is true. I took my time with them and got them installed ok. By the way, did you buy your new...

    Need Help Installing Clear Corners!

    Due to a recent move, I have lost my shop manual (ok, we all know nobody reads directions anyway). In any event, I have recently purchased clear corner lights for my 1998 vert and I am wondering if there is anywhere on the web I can find installation instructions. Or, does anyone have any...

    Diablo Or Superchips For 1996-1998 GT (Specifically)!

    Very interesting! The very reason I have a 1998 is because I like the body style much more than the 99+ style. I searched high and low to find the one I finally purchased, and drove through two states to get it! I guess that's what makes America such a great place! Everyone's taste is...

    Diablo Or Superchips For 1996-1998 GT (Specifically)!

    Umm..Ok, so I am an idiot! I assumed they must make one since this is all you read about on the boards. It looks like the Predator is for 99+ Mustangs. Thanks for pointing this out to me! :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang: :bang:
