[QUOTE="MustangChris, post: 1202922, member: 10830"] start with lowering springs... our suspension gets old after this much time and needs refurbished. that way you're not throwing money at a project you dont know what the end-game looks like.... avoid the tune until you have *at least* full bolt-ons, otherwise you're spending $500.00 on 5 horsepower (wooooooo.) things on our suspension that fail by now: ball joints spring isolators rear control arm bushings We even have a member on here who went to lower his stang -- it didnt lower with the new springs. We told him to make sure they were sitting in the perch properly on the a-arm. Turns out his spring's lowest coil rusted to the a-arm and snapped off at some point. He didnt realize this happened because the rusted coil was so corroded it looked like part of the a-arm...... so... i suggest suspension. It'll help performance and it will help looks. so whichever route you go with the car you didnt "do something wrong" for either plan to work out. [/QUOTE]
