Changing the rear spring isolators(sp?) will propably need to happen while your there. Most just go to pieces after being removed for the first time in over 10+ years. Also LCA should be tighted down while the car is on the ground not while the rea is lifted. www.stangpro.com article "strong arm" has a nice write up on how it needs to be done. Good luck.

You will need something like dremel, cut-off wheel, lock cutters, or a set of strong dykes to cut a small tab on the E-brake cable bracket to reinstall it after the new LCA are put on. If you want (it's a good idea) you can replace the UCA bushing not the whole thing, MM sells the bushings pretty cheap.

I'm pretty sure all kits come with what you need to do the install. If you read the article on stangpro you can see why the steeda lca are hard to beat for daily drivers those are the ones I'm looking into the most. The uppers we have from factory are good you just need to replace them with new bushings and your good to go not the entire control arm.
