Modification process from 1st mod until last

[Bestia]

Ive allways thought when modifiying a vehicle it should be performance before appearance

Being my first v8 and next toy to play with, i have a few questions regarding how everyone is planning or has allready modifed their mustang

I personally have the following planned out for mine
1st cat back corsa extreme (installed yesterday)
2nd kw v3 coilovers and lower control arms
3rd intake
4th brake upgrade to existing brakes if possible if not BBK upgrade
5th whipple supercharger, 1000cc injectors and custom tune
6th clutch will definately need an upgrade im thinking
I guess after this point ill focus on visual mods..

Has anyone upgraded the existing brakes or clutch and have any reccomendations?

Well, mine's on the Salome sailing across the Pacific at the moment, but mods wise, it'll probably go something like this:

1st straight from dealer to exhaust shop for muffler delete
2nd Eibach sportline lowering (springs are already sitting around waiting)
3rd intake

That's it for the time being

Your best bet is to have a chat with Morgan Newton on FB. She has whipple, has replaced halfshafts and clutch. Clutch was problematic.
You say you're replacing the LCA's. With what?
Other upgrades you will ABSOLUTLEY require with blower and heavy right foot, lockout kit at minimum, ideally toe/knuckle bearings and LCA bearings. Wheel hop and driveline survival are mutually exclusive. :cheers:

Mine so far as follows.

1. Xforce cat back
2. Tinted windows
3. quarter pannel and window scoops
4. US lower grill as the EU spec one is very plain
5. full set of white stripes (factory black just didnt grow on me so went for something a little more visual)
6. Dash cam kit (covers front and rear)
7. Catch can
8. Ceramic coat
9. Votgland 35mm lowered springs
And now working on the following
10. Very very soon will be Ferrada FR4 staggered in silver/machined lip
11. Xforce headers and cats with tune and CAI
12. Caster camber kit.

Oh and LED upgrades was somewhere in their as well, still have a few to do.

And the list goes on

1. Ford rubber boot mat

Apart from that I'm keeping mind absolutely stock.
Think she's perfect as she was railed out of Flat Rock

1. Clear bra and Gtechniq Crystal Serum (installed)
2. Dash Cam (installed)
Arriving soon
3. Corsa Xtreme catback
4. Eibach sway bars
5. BMR links
6. Steeda subframes and bushing support
7. Pulled the gun on my first visual mod - The Carbon Fibre GT350R Spoiler
..

one of the most important thing is the suspension but I have not been able to decide which way to go. Spoke to a JRZ supplier recently I would love to have them but they just seem to be too much. If the JRZ Pro Sport is perfection I just need to find an option close to it. I am thinking running stock suspension with the sway bars for my track day on 25 June to see how it goes first and then decide. At least get some miles behind the stock parts first.
