Well? How did the drive go? How is the car?

I thought you might have seen me in town... I drove the car about 500 miles this weekend. The drive back was good and I got some looks from some mustang people. The ride was a little rougher then I remember mustangs having but I have only owned LX and GT before (foxbody).

Here is a list of my options:
pwr driver seat
rear window defrost
am/fm cd player
leather
no sun roof

Just post the VIN and maybe the moderator will chime in with some details of your car! Sounds like you may have to upgrade the shocks and struts like brett!

ya that's why I asked if it was lowered because I have Eibach's and Bilstein shocks and it rides pretty nice on the freeway.

There the best. Bilstein struts and shocks. Cant go wrong with them a little privacy I did h&r tokico blue struts and shocks,with mm casters. I also think replacing all the bushings contributed to such great handleing and ride quality. I just drove nearly 400 miles last weekend to the beach. The wife even commented on how nice it rode. That says a lot to hear that.

I would like to find a complete kit of shocks, struts, springs, and everything else I might want to change. I looked into changing the exhaust first but the rep at the exhaust shop said California has some new law where if I have 4 cats and I replace with a H or X pipe with cats it must maintain the 4 cats. I changed to an H pipe in another 93 5.0 years ago and was able pass smog with 2 cats but these new rules are insane! The guy said it would be 700 bucks for an H or X pipe. HA! So now I might just change the stock mufflers out for now.

Ordered the SVT cert to find out what number I have too. The original owner didn't want to pay the $40 bucks to get it years ago. You can now order it online from fordparts.com (i think this was the name of the site).

I just smogged mine 2 months ago with high flow cats on it, and it only has 2, guy didnt say a word and passed with flying colors.

Hmmm... I thought the guy might be full of it because it doesn't make sense but i will ask some other exhaust shops.
