Christmas came early for my 5.0 :)
 

Well I ordered all my suspension, aluminum 1 piece driveshaft and my Borla stinger catback. Heres some pics of it all installed :)
The stang is now becoming quite a monster now that my traction has increased greatly even on the stock tires. Some 19x9.5 and 19x11 forgestars will be my next mod along with some Michelin pilot super sport rubber.
Thanks to El_Tortuga and Bacadiesel for helping me install the suspension! I couldnt have done it without your guys help.. :)

Some pics of the goodies.. Really pissed off the UPS guy this week, hahaha

Borla Stainless Stinger catback (you'd think for 1,200 bucks the damn thing wouldve been polished stainless)

Strange adjustable struts /w BMR springs

BMR LCA's, BMR relocation brackets and sway bar relocation kit ( so I can run 15x10 slicks at the track when i eventually am boosted)

BMR rear shocks and Viking double adjustable shocks (ended up having to remove the panhard relocation bracket because it was not letting the sway bar sit right when the weight was on the axle..)

Ended up having to pay a performance shop to install half my catback because I couldnt get the stock pipes out over the axle. On jackstands this was impossible

Driveshaft Shop aluminum 1 piece driveshaft
This mod alone proved to me its worth as much as the tune performance wise, it really increased acceleration a ton.

All looks great man! Really coming along nicely.

Hell yeah! congrats have fun with it.

Nice glad you got it all done. Sorry I couldn't help

Its ok.. El_Tortuga did my shocks and struts and springs and Bacadiesel had a lift that made installing the rest a breeze :)

In the rush to get through, we forgot to check camber and toe. Whoops.

I was wondering how you snaked the pipes. If you are still getting the buzzy vibe at certain RPMs when cold, you might recheck that all the clamps are tight.

Enough with the explicit details. Lets see how the car sits. I don't think I even looked at it from the side when we finished.

Yea i dont think the alignment is far off if any at all. It doesnt pull at all :)
I'll take a outside pic little later today when I get home.
What setting do you keep your koni yellows on for everyday driving?
It bounces a lot with bumps i cant even see. I figure i just need to adjust my struts and shocks settings

I would have just dropped the rear end down for the pipes... Looks like you had fun.

Konis only adjust rebound. I'm 3/5 hard in the back and 2/5 hard in the front. Probably a bit firm for comfort, but feels pretty good when I play in corners.

The driveshaft made a pretty big difference? With how quickly it revs? Just really curious if its worth it.

looks real good, im on the fence about a one piece drive shaft so im glad to hear it helps out so much.

getting the stock pipes off was a bitch, i jacked the car up as far as it would go, put it on stands, then put a 4x4 block on the jack and jacked it up as high as it would go and raised the jack stands some more. took the jack out and went over to one side and started jacking the side up. essentially the whole car was off the ground at one point but i got it...lol. i refuse to pay a shop to do that so i do it myself and then bitch about it.

hope those borlas sound good, that's a lot of dough for pipes

yes the car accelerates to 100mph like it's nuthing now.. main reason i wanted it was because I eventually want to drag race the car and want to use slicks, I've seen pics of just 430 rwhp mustangs destroying the twopiece like a twig. Also got sick of hearing the clunk clunk B.S. everytime you changed gears or pushed in the clutch.. this is how the damn car should've came from the factory if you ask me.

Wow that is impressive!!

Don't forget to drill weep holes in the Borla Mufflers, they will collect a lot of water. Looks great though! I'm sure its a blast to drive!

Why do they do this? Is it only Bora that has this problem?
