If you have the cash. I would do the bushings also get it all knocked out at once.

Are you gonna lower it or not? If so may want to get some camber/caster plates.

depends are you going with OEM specs? with lowering springs, new shocks/struts with better specs are a must, along with caster/camber plates and bushings

lol, no not deep pockets at all, im a college student working part time, but besides food and my girlfriend, my mustang gets all my money


looking for good handleing, mostley for cornering, dont want to lower it because i already bottom out occasionally on the roads, looking to redo the suspension possible because it feels like there is none when i hit a bump i swear the car leaves the ground... was wondering what the life expextency was

Foxes are a rough ride. Dont get ur hopes up too much. I have new springs and shocks... I love the handling increase but it rides rougher over bumps than it used to.
