Welcome to the board!! I too have a 98 gt convertible and I'm getting ready to get some gears put on it. I've kept mine pretty much stock, but the mods I've made have made me pretty happy. I'd recommend the Steeda Triax shifter, stock is very sloppy, the shock tower brace and some subs to stiffen up the body, the clutch quadrant, this will give you a better feel when you shift. I've also had the pulleys done, and you will notice a small difference, but most of these mods basically make your Stang ride a lot nicer, if you're looking for HP your best bet will be to get a blower, or if you don't want to spend that much, go for the head swap kit, that's probably my next mod when I have the funds. I can't wait until I get the gears!!

Thanks for the reply. I have considered gears and am leaning that way now. How much money should it cost to have gears installed? Also, is a shifter difficult to install?

I have been thinking about some suspension modifications as well. Is there a good kit including struts (or shocks)/springs? I have been looking at an Eibach kit for lowering the car. What do you think?
