single adjustable struts allow you to adjust the extension (upward movement) and it has a preset un-adjustable compression (downward movement)

double adjustable allow you to adjust both extension and compression which is more suitable for the street but more expensive.

The right way to do it is to get the balljoints and a bumpsteer kit, not offset rack bushings. If you want to get stiffer rack bushings you should get standard offset poly ones or solid ones.

Offset rack bushings can make bumpsteer worse according to MM.

i think a black Mach 1 with the FR's like your GT had and Slammed would look sick, but i think you saidyou want mineral gray.

Haha, I'm not sure what I'm going to do to it yet. That will depend on the color I get. I'm getting ready to look at a dark shadow gray (mach 1 didn't come in mineral gray because ford replaced it with DSG in 02 or 03).

I like all the colors except the yellow ones. If I had my choice it would be DSG, azure blue or black but we'll see. You can expect to see a thread about it when I do pick one up, but it may be a couple weeks or even months. I'm really really picky about the condition and quite a perfectionist so it will take the right one to come along before I bite. I'll still be around spreading my limited knowledge and sharing my opinions between now and then though
