Hello All
 
Just registered yesterday from Surrey, B.C.. I'm driving a new to me (about a month) laser red 2000 GT standard shift which is the second Mustang I've owned, the first was about 1 1/2 years ago and was a 1991 5.0 LX notchback auto shift. I really enjoy(ed) both of them. The plan with this one is to keep it relatively stock (no superchargers, etc), it already has full length sub frame connectors, a K&N filter and a strut tower brace. In the not to distant future I'll be lowering it 1.25" - 1.5" and replacing the stock clutch set up with probably a King Cobra with a firewall adj and a quadrant. Feel free to make suggestions so far as clutch choice, lowering springs, etc, as I haven't made any firm decisions. The car only has 45,000 km so I'm not interested in replacing "good" parts ie exhaust, etc, just yet I prefer to wear out what's already there and then upgrade it when replacement is necessary. Anyway, the forum looks well ran and has plenty of info so I look forward to chatting and learning with you. :cheers:

Not yet but soon, been rainin pretty much constant for the last month and now I'm in the process of packing, etc, for my move on the 25th but if the camera has batteries I'll see what I can do and get one up asap.

Hey Matt, welcome.

Do you hang at Vancouver mustangs as well?

I put some Steeda Sport Springs on the wifes GT. It rides great, but the drop was very minimal. Might pull them out and cut a 1/4 coil off to see if it knocks it down a wee bit more.

Good luck with the ride.

mattstang 02-20-2006 02:04 AM

Thanks for the welcome firemedic.

I'm planning on lowerin mine with Ford Motorsport springs. Drop will be 1 1/8" Front rated 425/530 lb/in and 3/4"Rear 200/300 lb/in if I go with part # M5300B or 1.2" front rated 460/570 lb/in and 1" rear 170/310 lb/in if I go with part # M5300F. The first is very close to stock (450 lb/in front and 210 lb/in rear but they're linear) ride quality under normal conditions and stiffens up a bit when driven hard and is almost $100 cheaper. The second is stiffer right from the get go and only gets stiffer which I don't think I'd like so much under normal driving conditions but the extra drop although small would look better. I'm movin this comin up weekend and goin on vacation 2 weeks after that so I'll make my mind up while sippin my drinks on the beach in Puerta Plata :chacha:. I'll be installin the one I choose the weekend after I get back so long as they're in stock. If I was you I wouldn't hack yours up, sell them in the Buy & Sell and put the money towards a set you'd like better otherwise you might get noises, etc not to mention butcherin is never a good idea in my opinion.

So far as Vancouver Mustang the answer is no. What is it a club, a forum ? Let me know and I'll check it out.

firemedic 02-20-2006 01:26 PM

Enjoy the vacation Matt, you Son of a Beach :laughhard

Vancouver Mustangs is like CMOC, just local for you and I. Good for contacts in the lower mainland and some parts.

Check it out.
