It's time to do a little more shopping but not sure what to get next.

I was planning on getting the Team Z k-member and a-arms. Then getting a manual rack and steering shaft so I can delete my hydroboost setup but I found a killer deal on a brand new nx nitrous kit.

This: http://nitrousexpress.com/product-details.php?id=906
with this: http://nitrousexpress.com/product-details.php?id=1357
all for $500

So Im at a crossroads here.

I don't know how much you'd like driving that around with a manual rack. Especially if you have 17's or 18's I know what mine feels like and I have skinnys

Im on 15in skinnys. This is actually my first mustang with power steering so I know it wont bother me too much without it plus I dont DD it.

If that's the case fuck it do the suspension. A used nitrous kit is more common then the suspension shit you want

+3 I did all suspension to my mach1 and only power mod is off road x pipe. And a built rear end. And a rim and tire package and from a stop my shit is pretty good against crammed up catfishes and others. This is the first time I've went this route and I'm happy. Check out my k member post from TPS I love it. And I'm on skinnies too it made a hella of a difference.

I know suspension is better than adding power and losing 100lbs off the nose is big. Its just something that's brand new and is 50% off is a good ass deal. Thats what makes it tough.

I ended up going with this:

Team z makes bomb ass products but do you have to run coilovers to run a tubular front set up or no?

Yes since the a-arms dont have spring pockets. I already have the team z coil overs on my car.

I don't have any experience with TeamZ, but those motor mounts look like they can use some reinforcement (Hell I even reinforced my Griggs K and A-arms a few years back)
