Drag modes worth it?

[90Notch]

I really wanted the PP2 wheels, but no A10 with the PP2, so I bought PP2 replicas for my base 301A.

Who makes the replicas? I love the pp2 wheels.

I feel like this combo will allow me to enjoy the car for the 100k+ miles without feeling the need(want) to modify suspension, exhaust, etc.

Never, ever visit Steeda or BMR websites

They are SVE's available from LMR.

Haha I've been doing research on here for the last 6 months or so. I have a small list of stuff but mostly cosmetic. I'm thinking maybe some minimal drop springs eventually but I want to keep the rest of the PP suspension until it needs replacing. It'll be more than enough for what I want to do. I've owned several other mustangs and know about the black hole that is the aftermarket! I've also got 3 kids including a 17 year old that's driving so most of my fun money disappears pretty quickly.

Thanks, I'll check them out.

If you want to buy a 2018 Auto, I don't think you will be well-served by waiting much longer. Most of the smaller dealerships are out of them, or only have one or two. The large dealerships with more inventory than expected (car sales way down this year) are offering large discounts below invoice on top of $2500-3000 in rebates. There is also a $750 BJs promotion running right now that stacks with the $2500-3000. All of these promos have a current expiration of 01/02 (who knows what comes next).

Without haggling price, I got over 19% off of MSRP. The only options on mine were 10 speed auto, 301A, and performance package.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I'd love nothing more than to spend the next 10 days getting a few dealerships to fight among each other for my end of year business. Unfortunately, it'll be end of Feb/early March before I'm ready to buy. I'm also not 100% set on buying new. PM incoming.

BJ's deal also gives you $250 gift card.

I think he’s referring to the stock 4x4 stance of the pp2.

I figured maybe he spoke Spanish, because he's not very good with English. Mine just looks like a PP2. It doesn't have a performance pack at all. Just a stock height 301A. Same height as virtually all new Mustangs.

I just saw the wheels and didn’t think it through lol.

Seems like my buddy’s 2017 base sits lower than that but maybe not. The stock ride height of this pp1 at my local dealer is nice. Not sure if I would drop it any more than that. Don’t want to worry about speed bumps or scraping.

It doesn't help that most of my shots are from a lower angle either. I have no desire to lower it. I did that on my F150, it's just not needed on a Mustang IMHO. I'm not into the boy racer look. I'm in the Chicago area where there is lots of speed bumps too. If I wanted a car on the ground, I would've bought a Vette. I'm more Old School Muscle than Ricer. That's the beauty of a Mustang, they can be customized any way the owner wants.
