For the rear...Ford OEM....these ones are really nice

I think just factory style ones would be fine.

I was thinking.... energysuspension

I bought Energy Suspension b/c they'll last longer than any OEM rubber bushings will. They may ride a little more stiff, but that's what most of us want in a stang anyway.....

yea, as you may already know (sig.) i'm looking to stiffen the ride and improve handling for typical/aggressive weekend fun, not for rally racing, but improve the handling, looks and reduce bodyroll/bumpsteer. Was the ride noticably stiffer/harsher to the point of being uncomfortable? Similar to the effects ofsolid motor mounts?

you might wanna check out the polyurethane isolators, they're stiffer than the stock crap.

These are polyurethane, stock isolators are rubber and are softer, I'm concerned thatthe polywill be real harsh while cruising as opposed to the comfort or give of the oem rubber.

I can't imagine you would even notice a difference. I don't have any in right now, and I went form brand new OEM ones and didn't notice a difference. I also can say, my OE ones lasted almost 18 years, so they can't be that bad....just not a cool color.

yea, i'm looking for black anyways, but you got a point, I have yet to look at the old ones , but from what i hear the oem ones tend to crack and dry out... i dunno i figured for $50 i'd replace them and be done with it. Are you saying you have no spring isolators at all?

No, not right now. You should get those ones I showed you from Ebay earlier...I know the seller He is trust worthy
