Go into your User CP settings and enable your PM's, then shoot me another message to let me know you fixed it!

Hi Shane, Just set you another PM. Thanks for the help on the setup.

Hi luke1333, Will I have trouble with speed bumps with H&R? I'm so sick of the 4x4 look. If I could, I would just get air ride...lol. I will take a look at the Bilsteins. Thanks for the suggestion on the shocks and struts. Not sure about reusing the isos. My car has about 75k on it. How much will add to the ride height? Thanks!

Just a heads up, I'm still getting this message when I try to PM you. Double check your settings again when you get a chance.

I'd definitely recommend upgraded upper and lower control arms with that setup you spec-ed out. UPR Products makes some excellent ones. www.uprproducts.com

Here's a kit might save you a few steps.
The bilstein b12 kit will run you another 100.00 or so from AM. Either way you wouldn't have to worry about fitment between components, then pick up either some MM or UPR four bolt CC plates. Isolators can be had from darn near every mustang site, just google that.

not sure about the h&r as far as speed bumps but i have heard people scrap their exhaust with them over bumps and the isos add a little bit maybe .25-.5" and bilsteins are great if you are going that low. im not going that low but lifetime warranty on struts/shocks i mean cant beat that
