I have only done a couple of mods, but the cradle lockout is by far my favorite. I hated the squat in stop and go traffic and it pretty much stopped it. Also going over uneven railroad tracks,etc no longer makes the car feel like it has a loose backend.

That is on my list. I might have to move it up the list and some vertical links.

That’s the other thing I did at the same time. Not sure how much the vertical links helped since installed at the same time. I have read where some folks on here stated that changing vertical links was not that beneficial.

Res Delete and H pipe for A/E cars is so easy, so rewarding, and so cheap...it should be at the top of the list.

It's right up there with yanking the boot/snorkel off the new edge mustang of yore.

Cradle lock out from whatever manufacturer you choose makes a noticeable positive difference. Did vertical links and figured out it was kinda a waste. Unless you are making real power like 700hp and up, vertical links, differential bushings, spherical bearings, and toe links are really unnecessary. Here’s my list of first mods:
1- Steeda cradle bushings
2- Steeda alignment sleeves for IRS
3- H or X pipe
4- jacking rails
5- Steeda IRS subframe support brace
I have installed all these products and can say they all made noticeable differences to the car.

5) a good tune to go with the supercharger

The car already had 1 through 4 (lol) on it at the dealer's lot. #5 is on order but is way behind schedule.

There are of course too many other things you can do to these cars, but after 10 years with a Terminator / 2.3 Whipple they seem really slow without boost. The other stuff can wait.

Nothing like flipping this sucker up before getting going. Nothing is cooler than flip covers. Especially when people get in my car, I give em a smug look as I flip my start cover open and press go. ooooh soooo good.
