I just bought a UPR K member front end kit with their A arms, and coilover kit, it arrived yesterday. We got ready to put the engine in and I just could not stand the nasty looking factory K and A arms, and I never half ass things, so I shelled out the cash for this setup. Pics later, I'm going to put in the K today, the CC plates are on the way in a separate shipment.

My question is if I use offset rack bushings, do I still need a bumpsteer kit, or will the bushings correct the lower stance enough to counter bumpsteer? On the other hand, if I use the bumpsteer kit, do I need the offset bushings?

If you use the bump steer kit you will not need the offset rack bushings. You may just get away with the offset rack bushings depending on how low the car is.

When I put mine in, I sat back and said that I will NEVER own a mustang without one again... it makes EVERYTHING SOOO much easier to get at with the new tubular K member.

Thanks guys. It went in easy since the motor is out right now. No clearance issues. Just waiting for the CC plates so I can attach the front coilovers now. Also installed the Steeda front sway bar, havent attached the end links yet. Oh and the bumpsteer kit.

What struts do you have. And how much did you pay for everything.
Total cost?
