Well this is what im gonna be putting in.
Steeda Sport Springs
Mach 1 Tokico Shocks and Struts
MM Caster Camber Plates
Prothane Front and Rear Spring Isolators

The one question i can think of off hand is should i use all the isolators or just the ones on the chassis side? Those things are pretty damn thick and i wonder if my car will even drop any with thos hockey pucks in there. I read the article on mustangworld.com and it doesnt seem to be that difficult. Any help would be great thanks guys!!

If i were you i would not install the lower isolator, if you do it will hardly drop the car at all, are your top stock isolators toast? I would just leave those in there, they are more compliant and will lower your car a bit more as the steeda springs are a VERY mild drop as it is already, other than that, everthing is easy and straight forward just have some jackstands and beer ...you might need and impact to undo the upper strut nut though.

I have the same shocks/struts and springs as you. The new isolators I used later on did raise the car up a tad. The install isn't too bad. Just take your time and read up on everything.

I'm hoping to put my MM caster camber plates on soon.

Cool did you use them on the top and bottom? I guess im gonna just use the top ones, to try and have some drop on the car.

Sorry I didn't get the time to help you out man. Just got up to WA yesterday, long drive. On my way to Ohio tomarrow for a week, then back here.

As for the isolators, I see some good advice already here. I would at least use the tops. Then at least the suspension will be isolated from the car. It will marginally louder without the bottoms, but with your exhaust setup, I don't think you will really notice too much. Good luck JP.....

It's all pretty easy, the hardest to install is the C/C Plates, but the instruction were written great so their wouldn't be a problem.
