mod question

Ok here it goes.

I finally saved up some money and now I have a dilema, "What to Buy".

Do I go and get the body kit for the car/or get the greddy evo cat back/or use the money to upgrade the lights on the car/or get stuff for the engine(note I do not have enuf for the supercharger)

I am leaning toward the body kitbut not sure.

My fellow members please help.

id match a y pipe up with your intake that youve got and go with a rsb then a fstb if youve got some left over. id stay away from the catback unless you want the look of it. if you got an intake then i assume that noise is not an issue so that may be what you would like but id get the y pipe before the catcback.

well i have the Stillen intake I was thinking and looking at reviews of either the stillen y pipe or cattman. I am assuming that the random tech cat is the way to go.

Well I really don't mind noise I maen i like the way a mustang growls.

But it's either the y-pipe/random tech cat/and the greddy evo to buy or the front and rear sway and do the suspension (i was looking at the Eibach Pro-kit springs and Tokico Blues/ or Ground Control Coilovers and Koni Adjustable struts.)

Of the two suspensions which will be the best price wise.

Here is the big question what will either set up cost me?

Forget the catback. But get the Y pipe. Replacing the catback will net you a total of 3 hp and it will be as loud as hell. But the Y pipe is awesome.

My suggestion- Go with the Y pipe and a UDP as far as performance mods. But you could use some springs too.......

y-pipe ~ $400
RT Cat ~ $150
GREDDY ~ $500

Eibachs ~ $220
Tokico ~ $350?
GC Coilovers ~ $350?
Koni ~ $450

If you want adjustability in your suspension, go with GC coilovers and Konis.... I don't think Tokicos will hold up with the GC's
