Mr Land Yacht, You happen to have the same name as another member on CVN with the exact same MGM........what a coincidence. :lol:

I wonder why that is... our cars look identical, too.
the guy even uses the same nickname for his Merc as I do.

Thanks a lot, Yeah, i wanted a factory look, while still trying to look aggressive. I got lucky with with the wheels n tires on ebay. I got them brand new (only 50 miles) for 400 bux and they were from a local ford dealer. So no shipping charges. IMO Mustang wheels look better on Panthers than they do on Mustangs.

I do have 2 vids on my vic on Youtube showing my exhaust., I use the same screen name as I do here.
The next couple of Mods will probably be getting 3.55 gears and a Cobra front lip. How much is the average price on the gears and install??

I would also like to raise the rear end a bit. Are there any ways you guys recommend this with out losing ride quality?

Nice deal on the wheels! Depending on what tires are on there, it's like getting the rims for free! Nice that you have a post-'03 model so the Mustang wheels will fit without spacers.

For the rear lift, I'd probably just try to find some spring spacers to put in there. If the new suspension is like the old ones, the springs act directly on the axle tube, so however much lift you want would be the size spacer to get. A lot of guys like to use air shocks because it's adjustable, but it's not quite the thing on a nice car and can adversely affect handling.

Summit Racing has gear sets starting around $170, but I can't personally speak to the price of installation. I think Colin (Mr. Land Yacht) had his 3.55 Trak-Lok professionally installed, though.

Now that you guys mentioned it, I think I recognize that CV now. I saw the vid a while back though. Now I wish I made you walk to your car so I could have heard it.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

it cost me a total of $1100 to get my 3.55s installed.

but...
not knowning much about gears at the time...I just told him what I wanted and hew did it.
but it turns out that he charged me like $300 for the gears alone...the POSI unit was like $350.
so, if you get the Gears and Track Lock beforehand, you will save some cash.
you can gears from Summit...or look on Ebay...GMN(for sale section)...CVN(for sale section)...mustang forums like Corral.net.
usually a good set of say 3.55s or 3.73s can be had for $50-80.
