Would you guys do these?, rock auto has em for 32 bucks a piece for the rear but they have nothing for the fronts. Since i put my 18" saleens the car has been driving worse and worse i think the stock shocks are giving way completely.

One more thing im trying to get some Sway bar bushings are the TRW ones junk is that why they are so cheap on rock auto? How do i know which diameter my sway bar is anyways?

I got my KYB GR2 shocks from Rock Auto. Sucks that they don't have the front's in stock. I got all 6 (front,rear, & quads) from them, but that was back in December. Super-duper prices. Couldn't be happier especially since I didn't have to spend what other places charge.

I think they have several really big warehouses that's why their prices are so low. Before I found Rock Auto I would buy my sway bar bushings for my other vehicles from like Advance auto and never had any issues with the TRW's, but they are a bit more $ at the chain parts stores, than Rock Auto. Hope it helps.

TRW is a good band. Lifetime warranty and usually they are made in the US. If you want better ones, get some Energy ones.

Your front sway bar is 30 mm. It is thicker than the 28 mm hardtops. As for the sway bar bushings I went back to original rubber ones since the aftermarket poly bushings became quite noisy after a while and I got sick of lubing them. I didn't notice a difference in performance either way. The quad shocks are listed as some sort of "steering stabilizers" or something like that. I forgot what they are actually called in the parts catalog. Get the ones made specifically for that application since the KYB ones will rub on the vertical shock. I know other parts stores supply the correct ones.

Don't know why they aren't carrying them anymore. Tire rack has the quads KG4521 normally $39 they on special for $37 each but they're running low on stock. Summit Racing has them for $33.95.

Summit Racing also has 30mm Prothane bushings for $7.95, also has Energy Suspension 2 differnt kits for 15.95 and 16.99 but they don't ship until June 10th.

I have found the best prices even over the Mustang only stores to be Amazon.com for KYB.
And they have free shipping!

I've seen them listed as " axle dampers".
