How can i lower it?
where can i get a cheap intake?


And i dont have much money...

[hunster87]

do you want to lower it for performance or looks?

[hunster87]

if you want the cheapest possible get the autozone one...it looks kinda cool but wont do ****. i would get bbk for a little over a hundred

[chattanooga]

want to lower it for looks mainly, but with that i was assuming some performance would come from it...

Americanmuscle.com has a CAI for my mustang for 75$
still more than i wanna pay considering the one for my camaro was like 35$

But how much is the Autozone one?

I wouldn't go with a cheap set for something as important as suspension..I do however know of a really good sale price that will get you really nice springs for cheap... go on to MUSTANG-UPR Products.com and take a look at their Eiback Pro kit...its going for 129.99..can't beat that...it offers a good drop (I got pics if you want to see) and increases handling alot! I would recommend going with new shocks and struts while your at it, but the stock ones will last, FOR NOW..

They will last the life of YOUR car...

eibach pro kit=129.99

tokico blue struts=81.99 (each)

tokico blue shocks=50.99 (each)

and your off to a good start for your suspension

[schwaebz98]

i mean, how long will the STOCK stuff last with the lowered springs

ohh not very long...they will last for a bit, but the bumpier ride will have its toll on them..plus, if you (and I? ) are doing the istall, it makes it so much easier to just do it all at once...just save up the extra 250 for the shocks and struts..I am keeping my stock springs, shocks and struts (in good condition) so that IF I decide to sell the car I will just slap em back on, which is another reason you shouldn't wear them out..

[schwaebz98]

ahh, another $250 for more parts, i just need to keep on saving then!(and look for good deals)
