Please let us know how your install goes. I have been considering CJ's for similarwork (suspension, gears, DS)and I am interested in how your experience goes.

I sure will update this thread when I install the stuff.

Any more opinions?

Note on CJ's in Harrisburg - they are mainly a parts reseller/distributor. Their shop is fairly small but their warehouse is giant. I thought they did real good work when they installed my 4.10s but its not set up as a service shop, i.e. you walk into the showroom and talk to the sales guys to get your car taken over to the service bays. Kind of weird. For example, there is no night dropoff convience - no drop box for the keys, no forms to fill out. You kind of have to make prior arrangements. But like I say - they have a lot of experience and do good work.

I've never been to CJ... but one of there guys... Bill (if I remember) was at a track rental I attended.... he and I ran 3x... great guy.... and helped me out when I had a tranny issue @ the track. Seemed to know his stuff

I'll call them before to check if they would install my parts.

If not, I'll have them do the gears, then I'll get my suspension parts and udp's installed somewhere else.
Any recommendations about shops in central PA that install mustang parts?

What do you guys think about the upper strut mounts?

As far as I know, Ford recommends changing them whenever the front suspension was disassembled.
But they are expensive, so are they really necessary?

Are they worth the $300? (Steeda). Are there other brands that sell them for less? And still be good quality?

I did install the J&M Camber (~$230)plates/strut mounts. They seem to be working great. But I wouldn't say they are necessary. You have the camber bolts so the only reason to get them would be for the more heavy duty mount. From what I heard, the latest stockers from Ford are just fine. Some of the earlier stock strut mounts were prone to early wear out resulting in popping noises.

I'm pretty sure they will be quite happy to install all your new mods. Also, I know there is a Mustang Performance shop in Dillsburg. I have not been there but Bill at CJ's recommended them for Dyno work. Also talked to another Stang owner who had them install Nitrous, he raved about them. I don't know the name of the shop though, I'll have to look them up soon.

Speed shop installed my springs and struts and used the original mounts. Said he had done the same with other S197's with no problems. So far so good on mine.
