Well I should be reciving part of my order maybe as earily as tomorrow.

I ordered the Hotchkis Delta caster/camber plates and Energy Suspension complete hyperflex polyuerthane bushing kit, I should have these tomorrow.

I also ordered the Bullitt Mustang Suspension kit which is on back order till may 10th the kit includes,

Tokico performance struts
Tokico performance shocks
Ford racing C springs
and front and rear performance swaybars

I didn't realize till later in the day the I forgot to order spring isolators, hopefully I will be able to get those somewhere locally along with new tie rods and ball joints.

I think I got a decent combo for the bucks all said and told it was $829.00 shipped to my door.

I can't wait I won't be able to sleep till they are on!!!!!!!

Where did you purchase the complete bushing kit? I'm interested and have found that most major places don't carry the complete kit (i.e. steeda, MM, mustangsunlimited.com, etc.).

Thanks.

Man, those swaybars are almost the same thing you have right now. Actually, your front one may be thicker then the one your getting.

I picked my C springs up from www.stangstore.com for $99 (now $110). The Tokico shocks/struts are from my Ford dealership for $30 each for the shocks and $79 for the struts.

just ask for the mach1 shocks and struts. They have a ford part number.

Your factory uppers are fine. I've been running just LCA's on both my cars and I'm pleased.

I got my complete kit from Summit it was $199.95 shipping was free.

It came today like I thought it would, man there is a lot of stuff in there!!!!!!!!!

I thought I would have to buy the spring isolators seperatly but to my suprise they were in there , it didn't list them in the book unless I overlooked it!!!

I have no idea what half of the bushings in there go on but I am gonna find out soon!!!!

I also got the C/C plates too, all I can say is SWEET!!!!

I was told by a couple different people that the Mach1 shocks and struts are a cheaper quaility set and don't handle or ride as well as the Bullitt shocks and struts do!!!!!!!

That's cool! I've got a set of Maximum Motorsports full-length subframe connectors going on my car on Monday...as well as Bullitt shocks and struts. I'm putting off CC plates since I haven't noticed any abnormal tire wear, but I do want to get a set of good lower control arms. Just waiting for a good deal on a nice set.

What are all the "extras" that I am going to need to install my Bullitt kit? I am getting the Energy Suspension Hyperflex bushing kit as well as MM C/C plates. Are there any other bushings or "little" things that I need to finish it off?

Swingline, where did you get that bushing kit? Is that the one with the poly bushings that has just about every single one you need for the entire car?

www.summitracing.com Part# ENS-4-18109G. This looks easier (and cheaper) than trying to piece it all together from Maximum Motorsports.

I am getting the same stuff Swingline is getting this month (Bullitt Kit w/sways, MM C/C plates, and Energy Suspension bushing kit). I am adding two quad shocks to replace my origianal ones, but some have said their not needed. Since quads are only $31 at mustangsunlimited.com, I'm going to go ahead and get them which might also fix some squeaking normally associated with older ones.

Swingline, are you installing all of this stuff yourself or having a shop do it?

A shop wanted $600 to install all of it. No way I am paying that so I am going to try and do it myself.

WOW!!! $600 is quite a bit, as I was figuring something around $300. However, I haven't gotten any quotes yet.

I'd do it myself, but there's these issues:

1. Putting C/C plates on correctly
2. Getting all of the parts off necessary to replace all bushings
3. Lack of tools for some part removal/install, i.e. LCA's, UCA's, etc.
4. Alignment (must use a speed shop to get it done right)
5. Peace of mind knowing the installation is being done by someone who has lots of experience on mustang suspensions.
6. Once the suspension is done, the parts should be good for a long time.

I'd better get a couple quotes to see what local speed shops are charging.

Thanks.

$600 for what, exactly?

Good Lord, my mechanic did my heads, cam, roller rockers, & longtubes for $650 and that included pulling the engine. He also did my gear install for $150.
