I've got a Saleen suspension kit I'm about to install in my mustang..the kit has the front sway bar, rear springs and front strut assemblies....my question is this: when I do the front spring installs, do I really need to install camber/castor bolts in place of the stock bolts? Also, the kit I got came off a parted out mustang, does this make a difference, the kit having already been installed in another car? Thanks for the help!

No you don't the Saleen kit is virtual twin to the FRPP kit and camber bolts are really not needed just recommended. The camber is still in tolerance but more toward negative. As for it being used as long as the struts aren't blown then you're good. May I suggest a set of GT-500 front strut mounts beofre you install it especially if your car has more then 40K miles

Wish I had known about the strut mount issue before installing my springs. Instead, I had to tear it all back out again and put new ones in.
