All that I've got at the moment is the Ford Racing C Springs and the Summit Racing upper and lower rear control arms (black) with the stage 8 bolts. I'm going to get after my suspension again after I order my shifter, valve body, wheels and tires.

No the stage 8 bolts give 23.3445 more horsepower, kinda like the difference between a srt-4 stage 1 and stage 45, big difference.





















Yeah I meant grade 8

I'm real happy with my set-up and it was quite inexpensive. On the track is handles great. I threw the MAC Performance catelog at my 92 notch plusa few other parts:

- Mac upper & lower rear control arms
- Mac progressive rate springs
- Mac camber/caster plates
- Mac strut tower brace
- Mac g-load brace
- Mac offset rack bushings
- Energy Suspension poly bushings, end links & isolators
- Eibach anti-roll bars front & back
- KYB Gas-a-just shocks & struts
- DaSilva Racing custom full length sub frame connectors
- MM Panhard bar is on my wishlist

This is not as high quality (IMO) as MM stuff but it was less expensive. It works well for my daily driver that sees some open track time.

Actually, there are Stage 8 bolts. They keep headers or whatever from backing out. Each one has a guitar pick shaped metal peice that snaps on to the head of the bolt and bumps up against the header primaries to keep them from backing out....

Now you know. And knowing is 1/2 the battle.....Ah, forget it.
