Mods under $500, need opinions!

[guncrazy72]

So its 13 days until Christmas and my fiance is pissed. She has bought zero items for me and wants to have either something somewhat big or a few smaller things to get me. Id rather her not but thats another topic in itself....

What would be some good suggestions of things to get under the $500 range? I have a 2017 GT PP Manual and its my DD and also will be ran in autocross. Only mods so far are the Steeda clutch spring and Roush axle back. I havent dove much into what I should do next since I had planned to save my cash for mods until after a few autocrosses.

Well, for $199.95, I highly suggest our CB005 Cradle Bushing Lockout Kit. ;)

This kit removes cradle deflection, centers the cradle better than OEM mounting and adds a jacking point to the rear.

This kit also helps reduce wheel hop, benefits braking, improves corner entrance / mid corner / and corner exit tremendously.

My very first suspension mod, and currently the only suspension mod to my 2016 GT PP is this CB005 Kit.

lucky you, my gf is pissed but because all I request are car parts so none for me this year...

hmmm a good set of springs to help with them corners bruh

Steeda jack rails are nice to have if you change tires at lot while auto crossing.

Are you planning on running in stock class? if yes, find some used wheels with race tires on them.

If I had only $500, I would get Steeda Progressive lowering springs.

A set of shocks and struts...

If you're going to autocross, you'll need to figure out what class you're going to run. F-street is what you're in stock, but in that class you can only do shocks & struts, and tires. (plus a couple other things, but it's all minor)

No tune, no lowering springs, no cradle kits, etc...

 

[Zerobar78]

That BMR rear cradle kit, or the Steeda subframe bushing supports and some differential bushings will go a long way to solidifying the rear end(I have the Steeda stuff in hand but not installed yet). Camber bolts up front at least if not come caster/camber plates would be a good start.

Why not get something fun and makes noise and power? PMAS air intake - no tune.

 

[Strokerswild]

Another vote for lowering springs....

Ford Racing X-Pipe & Ford Racing Short Shift Kit.
*X-pipe made a huge difference with stock mufflers so with the Roush Axle-back, it will be wild.
**Short Shift kit allows some noise into the cabin but the improved shift action is well worth it......IMO.
