Just thought i'd post this for people looking into what a v6 can be with a little TLC and some Bolt-On's.

Nice 'Stang
Nice Stang! I have a 1998 V-6. How does the car handle with the cut springs? Looks like you've done very well. Clean enough to eat off! TLC for sure!
I'm still trying to get the firewall adapter for my BBK triangular Strut tower brace. I chose the Eibach Pro-kit springs with a 1.5" drop. I was a bit hesitant to drop more than 2.00". I was curious, what made you decide on a 2.25" reduction in body? Nice ride! Congratulations! ~Jane~ |

Thanks for the compliment! About the drop. I wanted to be lower to the ground for cornering reasons. It handles great! The springs were cut by only removing 1/2 coil on all four.
I bought the BBK strut tower brace from brothers performance out of Corona. Being that i have a 95, i found that the 5.0 brace would bolt right in with no problem. Had no clearance issues with the procharger as well. Those pics are coming soon!! Again, thanks for the compliment. By the way, i am originally from the Sactown area. I lived in Rancho Cordova, well closer to Citrus Heights. Glad to meet someone from My hometown!

Raised In Rancho Cordova
I was raised in Rancho Cordova myself! Graduated from their High School there.
I also purchased my BBK from brothers (through Tognottis A/W). Now if I can only get the firewall adapter {the parts guy left it taped in the box I should have compared the parts list to the items he took out of the box. But, I didn't want to seem bossy!}. Hmm. Glad to hear that the springs worked well. They are well engineered. Talk to you later ~Jane~ |

Dan-Man,
I have already got the SC. I have the intercooled procharger P1SC, which is a self contained unit. I love it! I payed 3200 for the kit from www.Superchargersonline.com
