I am stuck in a lot of decisions here.

Got roughly $400-$500 to spend.
Can do Lowering Springs, Panhard Bar, and Under Drive Pulleys.

Can do OffRoad X Pipe, 4.10 gears,

Can do 18x10, 18x9 buillett deep dish wheels of AM $400 shipped for all 4


My car is
07 GT, Has macs Axel backs currently, parts I haven't installed, CAI, TUNER.

Let me know opinions or what you might think would be a better route to go.

Wheels, if anything. I have a set of Roush rear springs you can have for like $25 plus shipping. I'd do the gears but not the x pipe, it will sound terrible.

Ancona, this forum is not like the others and we regard our "Tech" sections to be the best out there. Based on this, discussions like this should be in the "Chit-Chat" sections.... I am sure it will get moved but put your flame-suit on as I am sure you are going to take some heat for posting this in tech.

As for your question, what do you want to do with the car? Drag Race, track it, daily drive it, etc.? Each option will have a different set of things to buy.

as to your question - save your money and build a stake to do a real mod....

or gears if you must spend

^ This.

IMO, if this is your cruiser and DD, just pick up the wheels. But I would still go with stkjock and say save money for a real set of wheels or motor mod. Don't just spend it because you have it. Find what you REALLY want... for sure.... and then spend what you need to get it.

I was able to find my longtubes used for right around that budget including the catless H pipe.... I'd go that route. Or gears.

Like a couple of other guys have said, we'd really need to know how you primarily use the car before making recommendations.

Personally, I'd do springs, PHB, and relocation brackets, which will improve looks and handling. But I don't drag race.

I'm in the same boat but I have a 5.0.

I would go with gears if you want a bad ass kick. Do an x pipe if you want louder, and go wheels if those are the ones you really want.

I'm probably going to go with lowering springs and an off road x pipe.

A set of 4.56 gears will make it feel like you did a bunch of power mods. Final drive ratio won't be too bad either because of the .68 5th gear. It comes out to 3.11.

I would definitely do some research before I started asking questions. There are a ridiculous amount of threads on subjects like this here.
