What to Buy?

[Silvr04GT]

Well with winter coming up I'm planning out my winter spending on the car. I've got a few different ideas on things to do. I'm definitely going to being getting a set of Blistein shocks and struts, I think the stock ones with the H&R springs probably isn't doing me any favours and I would assume they will being wearing out some what soon.

My other thoughts were either continue with the suspension upgrades including:
-FRPP UCAs
-MM LCAs
-MM SFCs

Or some looks upgrades:
-2000 Cobra R Hood
-some kind of different spoiler
-plus maybe LCAs or SFCs

What do you guys think would be a better use of spending? Or do you have any other suggestions on potential upgrades? Keeping in mind my end goal is to have a KB sitting under the hood.

well look at it this way...ur on borowed time with ur springs...so why dont u do ur suspension first...cuz if u do the looks...and the shocks and struts give out...ur gunna have to replace them anyway...and then ud be spending a crapload of money you didnt plan on spending all at that time

Either way the shocks and struts are gonna happen. The other stuff is in question.

I would go ahead and install the LCA's with the shocks/springs. I have the MM non-adjustables and cannot recommend them enough. Some people say they can't tell a difference, but I felt a huge difference (installed when I hit about 67,000 miles). My '99 GT tracks straighter and seems to respond quicker, even leaving from a standstill. Rear end feels much more stable. Have not heard any squeaking, etc. Just use a lot of the grease that comes with the set.

I'd go with the control arms first for sure, with my Mustang I started getting a slight wheel-hop problem even before I had 10k miles and my new control arms nipped it in the bud instantly!

The other stuff is up to you, if it's in your budget after the arms, go for it!

do the suspension mods first and dont worry about the looks on the car you can purchase that later down the road
