this is my 2002 V6 5 speed manual, iv had it for about 2.5 years. all iv done so far is true dual exaust (flowmaster original 40's, 2.25 inch tubing, 3 inch stainless tips), BBK CAI, GT hood scoop, 5% tint and a bumper inlay. next i plan on doing my suspension, i plan on using eibach springs i know its a good idea to do your struts and shocks at the same time but is it neccesary to do it right away. i know it would save money in the long run since ill be having the work done at a shop, but i cant afford all the parts and it will be awhile till i can. i just cant stand the wheel gap and really wanna throw some springs in. here it is.





taken at a wedding last week, you can see the exaust in this on:

 

Welcome to CMOC.

 

Welcome to the site dude - nice looking car. No offense, but someone messed up your face a bit!!

What have you got as the theme on your left sleeve - is it a full or half sleeve? Tough to make out. Looks like a lot of ink though - painful I'm sure.

 

The exhaust tips look much nicer in the wedding pic! Had you thought about putting a GT bumper on when you went dual?

 

yes its a full sleeve japanese style, forearm is a dragon thats on fire the tail wraps around my wrist, the rest wraps around my arm,and from my elbow up is a phoenix that goes onto my peck. as the story goes the phoenix rises from the ashes of the dragon. its about 26hr's worth of ink. im still planning out my right sleeve.

as for the gt bumper comment, i was thinking about it but didnt have the funds at the time. i got the guy that installed the exaust to angle the tips a bit, so u cant see the welds. im happy with it and it sounds pretty damn mean for a V6. here's a exaust clip.

Stang looks awesome,and sounds real good!Awesome job

 

thanks!!, any input about my lowering question in my OP? can i just swap the springs for now without messing anything up? ill do the struts and shocks eventually. how long will my stock shocks and struts last?

 

It does sound pretty darn good...hope you went back and picked up your camera

Should be able to just do the springs now although you may need to have the alignment checked.

 

Agreed.If springs is all you can do in your budget right now,your alright,but make sure you do get an alignment done,or you will spend extra money leater for new tires up front.

 

sharp lookin' sixxer!
