Well the FRPP Handling Kit comes in tomorrow and i plan on tackling the install of it on saturday/sunday. I have read the mustangworld howto's on sway bars and springs about 30 times now but still want another opinion on this. What would be the best way to go about doing the install? Should i go:
FRONT
1) springs
2) struts
3) sway bar

REAR
1) springs
2) shocks
3) sway bar (if a rear sway bar comes with the kit?)

Any tips or advice that arent given on the website would be nice too, thanks!

You should pray for the struts to be easy. I had to put one back in a 96 Lumina a couple days ago, was hard stuff. Also my friend was making me laugh while I was trying to put it in which didn't help. Good luck, and make sure you post pictures when you are done with it!

I had my mechanic buddy put my springs in cheap, they are a pain in the ass to put in even with the right tools, one of my friends did his himself in a shop and he said it was such a pain, its better to have a mechanic do it, the cheater methods aren't that safe, if you are going to do it yourself, get a spring cage from autozone
