Replace the rear spring isolators while you are at it, Prothane makes them as well. Your old ones probably looked like the ones I had.

Ah yes. I remember these. My 92 That I owned was lower/sagging on one side due to the driver side isolater being worn out. Thanks for the reminder.

And if you do use the eibach kit I recommend a bumbsteer kit. I used UPR for mine. It will help with the front end jumping around with bumps in he road. Made a big difference on mine. And I 2nd mm lowers and rebush the uppers.

Don't do all that work and leave the crusty old balljoints in it, they contribute more than most people think to ty ride quality.

Get at least the Moog replacements or if you can afford it step up to the Steeda's.

If you have not bought your motor mounts yet, when you do go with the convertible ones over the hatch ones. OE if you can get them. There is alot of hit and miss on auto part store mounts as to how they hold up. The convertible mounts are better made. In 91 Ford ended up putting the convertible mounts in all mustangs. There are plenty of forums about this. The convertible will lower your motor 1/2in over yours. If your are shot it's already dropped down at least that. The poly mounts transfer more vibration. For a daily might get slightly annoying but that's personal preference.

Congrats on the new ride-Tim
