OK, Change in plans...

We've decided to do all the mechanical stuff we want done to the car this year - and next year get the new top....

So - Garry's biggest complaint is the ride... we're thinking we need shocks and springs?

We're not looking to lower or race - we want a comfortable street ride.

Any advice??

It's a little rough... I mean, we know it's not a caddy... but the ride seems not as comfortable as it could be...

Also - I want to replace the headlight bulbs when we replace the plastic housings... I don't want to do any extra wiring, etc - what bulbs would be good to get in there?

I know, I know - at least this one thread is better than me making 900 little ones in your section

Everything we talk about, Garry says "Did you ask Reggie!?"... I'm askin', I am askin'!!!

for the head lights you want

sylvania silverstar headlight bulbs you can get them at any autoparts store......

here are several choices for springs.....

Steeda Sport & Comp Springs - '99-'04 Ford Mustang

That sounds like a normal LX convertible ride to me. To soften things up, you could also get the Strange 10 way adjustables. Then you could have both ways at the turn of a knob. I think they're $65-$70 each for the shocks and $110 for the struts.

The Sylvania Silverstars look a lot better than the stock lights, and really work with clear light lenses.

Hey, hey - HEY!!! I do not plan on getting another job ... so let's keep it to what was requested, that is - unless you're donating!!

LMAO!

As always, thank you for your advice, I am going to get bulbs tomorrow - I will keep you filled in on what we're doing... We're starting next week - as we don't want to get into anything too deep - we have the AFM East Coast Meet this weekend!
