Default install day tomorrow

Well after reading and then finding a nice deal, I finally make the choice to picking up quite a few things for the mustang. All of which are suspension related except one.

I know a few of them are different colors. I painted a few of them cause they had metal showing - didn't want to get any rust :P

Can't wait till its done!

Roush Stage 2 Suspension Kit (1in drop)
* Front Coil Spring (pair) (part #401294)
* Front Struts (pair) (part #401297)
* Front Stabilizer Bar (part #401299)
* Rear Coil Spring (pair) (part #401295)
* Rear Shocks (pair) (part #401298)
* Rear Stabilizer Bar (part #401300)

BMR Panhard Bar - Adjustable with Poly Mounts
GT500 Strut Mounts
Scott Drake - no logo - hood pins

Will look very nice on your white stang.

I have the Roush springs front and back (blue) and Koni shocks (yellow) on my red stang. Steeda intake, Hurst shifter and Edelbrock tower brace.

Never thought about matchy-matchy until now.

I hope everything goes well too since I am missing a few nuts (2 to be exact) out of 4, but I will reuse the factory ones on the shock and the new ones on the front sway bar.

It will go down 1 inch which is what I wanted anyway (NJ streets are terrible at times).

Install starts @ or around 8AM tomorrow...hehe

Geez East87, now I want to get F/I :P

Too all those that said the handling will increase and the drive would be much better than stock...





...you were 150% right :P Hehe...wow... Thanks guys for the help and the install went smooth (no pun intended). I also just received the GT500 LCAs which I will put in shortly and I already did the Bama tune - the car is alive!!

Here are the pictures of the new LCAs.

As per Ford:
increased bushing durometer and stiffness for higher horsepower applications
