Default setup

i have to replace my inner tie rod ends because one is warped/bent. i have a set of eibach springs in my garage that i've been waiting to put on...
what should i purchase to set this up correctly to do it all at one time. i think that i am going to buy your kit with the tokico hp shocks/struts and the bumpsteer kit. i'm not sure what bushings i need or if i'm overlooking anything else.

Default RE: setup

As far as the lowering goes... the top recommended items to replace at the same time are...

Shocks & struts, caster/camber plates, spring isolators and bumpsteer kit. It seems like you already have these items on your list.

The bumpsteer kit is definitely a good idea if you're taking off the inner tie rod ends anyway.

The spring isolators may be a good idea if you're removing the springs. Keep in mind that aftermarket isolators will lift the suspension by 1/4 of an inch, from the normal drop of the springs.

so...the bumpsteer kit actually replaces the outer tie rod, right? should i get offset bushings or regular ones? what will new isolators do?

Default RE: setup

The Bumpsteer Kit replaces the outer tie rod ends. A Bumpsteer kit could essentially be called an "Adjustable Outer Tie Rod End". Your OEM one is not adjustable, which will not benefit with bumpsteer correction.

You can get regular, non-offset bushings. The benefit of the bumpsteer kit will far outweigh the benefit of the offset rack bushings. Our most popular rack bushings are the Maximum Motorsports Aluminum Bushings. Check them out here... http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=302

New isolators will do two things. 1. Replace your worn out, and often times ripped isolators (especially on the rear lower control arm). 2. They will improve performance slightly by providing a more firm mounting for the springs to sit on.

Sincerely,
