Yeah! Golden is right. I quoted him the hundred before I went back and looked how much I actually paid for them. I'm a fair man though, so 100 it is. Yeah Strype is weird, but that's what makes for good 5.0 Talk.

lower it but put on a good set of shocks struts imho bilstiens are the only way to go, when i first lowered my stang when i was in h.s i had kyb replacments and i hated it almost sold several times, then i got the coilovers which is in my mind the best mod you can make ot mustang right after sfc i loved it, alot, i mean really really love them, expensive but worth it, but a good shock strut spring combo can be good to

They carry MM stuff cheaper than the link you posted, and their house brand caster camber plates are exact copies of the MM ones.

Full Length is a must for your convertible. Don't waste your time with regular length.

grey5.0beast - I recently lowered my car with h&r sports (1.25F, 1.0R), bilsteins, stangsuspension.com CCplates, and all new poly bushings. Here is the link to my site if you care to look at some pics. My car is the same color as yours so you may like it The pictures toward the bottom are better pics.

P.S. - you'll notice my car is a victim of the fox body drivers side sag syndrome. The passenger side of the car is a more accurate depiction of how the springs should sit.

100 bucks more, before I was making any money(bought them in may!!

It takes a bit of work to get to 100 bucks, especially when you make 8.15 an hour

Maybe, he had to relocate the battery to the trunk because of the intercooler tank, but there is no way hes drilling holes in the back of his car for a battery cut off switch, which is against NHRA rules. I think tech is going to be light like it always is and he'll be able to get through, but hes worried that hes going to make a wasted 2 hour trip.
