www.50resto.com Buy the 94-04 LCA's that say they are upgraded to 03-04 Cobra quality ball joints and bushings. Those are the best around.

What other hardware would I need to complete this install? How about new nuts and bolts, fastening hardware?

Obviously a good time to replace springs from stock and add urethane spring isolators, I imagine?

Get a Haynes manual from your local parts store. Worth it's weight in gold.

To answer above question...yes, I would get new LCA bolts and nuts while you're there. I was surprised how much my LCA bolts were deteriorated from my 54K 96 Cobra that I never drive in the winter, or rain. I would also get the poly isos. The springs is your choice. I like the stock ride of the new edge Mustangs even though they sit a touch high. The ones that that NO BRAKES has on ebay will work if they are 94-04...he is right, they make the wheels stick out on a fox body.
