Don't you guys have heaters?? Winter is the time to WORK on your stangs not collect parts lol. You should collect parts all summer and build it during the winter down time!

Thats pretty, I want to have a pile of parts like that for my LX. My pile for the 88 is slowly getting smaller and smaller. It feels weird when parts no longer sit in their place and actually are on the car. Then its time to start another pile. lol

Nice pile of parts. What made you decide to buy Bilsteins?

the hds and maximums road and track spring are supposed to be a really good match (there simmilar to h&r race springs) and my friend had sportlines in his 96 on stock shocks/struts, and it rode like a honda with honda bounce, he got hds with the same springs and it rides like a dream. my tokicos are close to stock level dampening so i did something to help that out. also bilsteins are better at taking little bumps better than most japanese shocks like tokicko and kyb.

road and track springs, poly iso's, poly end links, xd adjustable lca's, a pinion snubber, and probably a battery relocate. then after that its on to brakes.
