Hello all!

I bought the car July of 2019. Before that I had a 91 Foxbody GT for 7 years, hard to let go 45K original miles very clean and HCI/suspension and some other mods. And the addiction all started with a 94 Z28 when I was 16. Anyway.. the car has 20K miles, Deep Impact Blue, 50 years package, premium, etc. I bought it with a lot of tasteful things done. BUT, I needed to do something myself. The car came with an NGauge but the previous owner got rid of a tune due weirdly due to trying to pass emissions, doesn't make sense to me since you can flash back to stock. Last winter I got a custom tune from Lund and dropped in a AFE filter/carbon filter delete. Huge difference in my opinion, I could tell just going down the alley that it was performing better. In the springtime 20, I installed Bob's Machine Catch Can. Amazing upgrade and quality, I love it. Big suspension project going on and details below! Other plans include GT350 spoiler and Cervini front grille. If I get bored with power I will go boosted :)

Suspension build has commenced! Goal is for a high performing backroad/canyon carver with potential interest in autocross

Suspension as the car was bought

-SP080 springs
-OEM Performance Pack shocks/struts
-FP Track sway bars
-BMR CB005 stage 2 rear cradle lockout kit

New Suspension

-SP083 springs
-Ford Performance track shocks/struts
-Maximum Motorsports caster camber plates
-Steeda front roll center and bump steer correction kit
-BMR rear upper shock mounts
-Steeda rear lower control arm bearings
-Ford Performance toe link bearings
-Ford Performance front sway bar staying
-Performance Pack rear sway bar
-BMR CB005 stage 2 rear cradle lockout kit will be swapped out for a red one to match the rest of the BMR parts

Front disassembly was CAKE compared to the rear. The rear bolts were extremely tight and I am thinking factory. I had the most issues with the control arm 24mm bolts and caliper bracket bolts. Also I attached a pic of how she sits currently with naked suspension!

Here is everything back from the shop! Been working on it. More updates soon, front almost fully in just taking my time with bump steer spacers etc.. rear control arms are only thing in the rear so far, had some help the other day and it definately made it easier, the new solid bearing back there made it a little more difficult to get back in.

All finished! Fun and challenging project. Learned some things as this is my first IRS car! Love all the parts quality and fitment, thanks to fellow members for all the great recommendations

Update with better STANCE PICS! A few months ago I made the maiden (sketchy) voyage to the alignment shop, there is a local shop where the owner does autocross and has raced Mustangs for awhile. I had a street performance/autocross capable custom alignment done and it has been amazing. The car handles so much better, rides better and I am far more confident on the backroads now! I am surprised how much I like the stance, I was thinking I wouldn't like the change but I prefer it over the SP080's.

Injen intake installed! Great quality and fit. I love the way it looks!! Definately noticed a little bit of response and the IATs seem to be great. I love the design of this intake, sealed with the cone filter.

GT500 Spoiler installed! Love it so much, I feel like it completed the car. Wasn't sure about the gurney flap at first but probably keeping on. I think the eraser wheel scratched my trunk lid but I'm getting a detail this week so we will see. Install wasn't bad at all.

Great Job on the spoiler.. i've been there and it is a pain to get the old one off and all the adhesive. Man, I still really miss my DIB GT... wish I could have gotten my 350 in that blue.. just such an epic color
