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

Another hate'n troll bites the dust.

Alex aka SmallBlock Speeder aka 351SVO aka tTOP302 aka SHO@lex aka SHOalex. Long time CAFords troll and hater trying to start drama as usual. A picture of this over achiever. Now go and cry to your homeboys about how you were banned because of discrimination and racism, forgetting to mention your five trolling accounts on here :rolleyes:


A big plastic monkey pointing a finger at your little shriveled pecker? Seriously?


Wow. Just wow. And we thought the monkey pic was bad!

Does your boyfriend know you're cheating on him with the shirtless guy above?

Anyone offended by the anti-ghetto sign please never visit CAFords.com again. You won't be missed!

Anyone else with a fake account care to speak up?


Didn't think so.

+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.

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)
