We have some guys on here who would not buy from Mustangs Unlimited again. I haven't bought anything from them, so have no experience with them. Yes, your suspension and brakes are the number 1 priority for restoring a classic Mustang. Everything else is secondary to safety. Mustangsplus has a kit that is considerably more expensive than what you quoted, but includes just about everything you will need for a front end suspension upgrade. http://www.mustangsplus.com/Merchant...Code=suprstrtr

ive bought from mustangs unlimited once before and it was very enjoyable. i got the part in like 2 days...so i guess until i have a problem with them ill use them but thanks for the heads up....as far as brakes should i go for an all out conversion to disc or what and does it matter weather its power disc or not?one more thing to...would it be wise to get the whole front end kit with the springs or do i just need the springs....the car pulls really bad to the left and has since i got it so im not really sure if somethings bad or if it just needs an alignment?

I edited my reply, so should answer your query. As far as pulling to the left or right, that will be corrected once you have the new parts on and have it aligned. As far as disk brakes are concerned, that is a topic we have discussed here a lot. Most guys agree that only the front brakes need to be disks. We have a FAQ section on top that will give you all the information you need for the swap. Check it out, then get back if you have further questions.

I edited again. It's late and my old brain is sleepy.
