Default Suspension Time

I'm deciding on my suspension set-up right now. I've got a pretty basic list of what I think I should do. I'd love to lower my car in the front but I think I'm going to just do the Roush rear springs, since I've got the CDC Aggressive chin spoiler. I don't want to be rubbing on everything. I figure I'll get the suspension, brakes, etc done before going FI.

AWK002
BMR Fabrication Anti Wheelhop Package - For 05-08 Mustangs


$349.95


SBK010
BMR Fabrication Front & Rear Swaybar Kit - For 05-08 Mustangs


$379.95


STB011
BMR Fabrication Strut Tower Brace - For 05-08 Mustang GT w/ Engine Cover


$179.95


PHR006
BMR Fabrication Tubular Adjustable Panhard Bar - For 05-08 Mustangs


$114.71


PHR007S
BMR Fabrication Upper Panhard Bar Support - For 05-08 Mustangs


$109.95


DSP-12
Tokico D-Spec Wide-Range Adjustable Shocks & Struts Package - For 05-08 Mustangs

$529.95


Total: $1664.46

So just add $90 for the Roush rear springs and what do you guys think about this set-up? Are the Steeda Rear Swaybar Chassis Links - For 05-08 Mustangs needed? I figure I'll get the GT500 strut mounts instead of spending $300 on the aftermarket ones. If you guys think I should add anything else, let me know. I want to do it once and do it right. Any site sponsors offer any better deals than this? Thanks guys.

The shopping cart is from www.stangsuspension.com.

However if you search Tokico shocks on Ebay, there's a VERY LARGE seller that is selling them for $500 with free shipping.

I got my D-Specs off ebay for $503 shipped.

IMO, you don't need the strut tower brace or the front sway bar.
The GT500 strut mounts would work fine but I heard they're hard to find.

HardCoreMustangs are having a group buy on BMR products til the end of the month.
I'm putting in my order tomorrow.

I would also remove the front sway bar and strut tower bar. Sounds similar to the setup I'm going with, but I'm getting the pro kit.

I got my D-specs on ebay for 503 shipped. Sounds like a nice package. I just did a lot of suspension work to mine as well, lowering springs, rear sway, adj panhard, panhard brace, adj. LCAs, camber bolts, and the D-specs. Be careful with the BMR LCAs. Thats what I had put in and after a week of them in, my bushings went bad. My car was driving like crap. Finally got to the root of the problem, BMR had a bad batch of bushings used. I guessBMR wasn'tsure where the bad bushings went, so it's kind of a find it, fix it ordeal. I called the place where I got the parts and they told me about the bushing problem and had me call BMR. BMR sent me out some new bushings that day (should be getting them today). Luckily my install shop said they would put them in for free, which they most certainly do not have to do(Real Street Performance ). I will prob have topay foranother alignment, I think I'm going to give BMR a call and ask them to pay for it since their defective product caused the mess. Just giving you the heads up. It sucks that after a week of having all my suspension work done, I got to jump through all the hoops again. BMR gave me no problems whenI gave them a call about my bushings, but i'll let you know what reaction I get when I ask them to pay for my new alignment. ( I am in no way trying to steer you away from BMR products, just letting you know of the bad batch of bushings sent out)
