Front Suspension
So I'm looking to use the Swap2 kit from discbrakeswap.com and figured when I do it, I might as well replace the front suspension. Now, I was wondering where can I find a front suspension kit, which would include the springs/shocks, bushings, etc)? I've seen some things from others on here using laurelmountain but on their site, I don't see a kit, I see just the seperate pieces you can buy. If they have a kit listed, and I'm just being blind, please post the link for it here. If you use something else, please post a link here so I can compare.
Thanks!
Oh, and if any of you have replaced your rear suspension components, post links for kits to that as well.

I think there are at least 8 Classic Mustangs parts retailers who have a kit.
Here are two:

I found the laurelmountain full kit on ebay. $475 isn't bad, however it's for the v8 model, and my mustang has the inline 6. Until I swap the engine out to a 351, I won't be doing the suspension at this time.
Im really happy with the street bandit handling kit from NPD married up to some global west A arms and strut rods with monte carlo bar to boot with 1" lowering leaf springs in the rear to compensate for the 3"(ish) drop in the front.
Really great.

I bought laurelmountain's super suspension kit that included front and rear and it was decent for the price. If I could go back and do it again, I'd throw in alittle more money and go with opentracker. I got front and rear, minus the steering pieces, for 677 total.
Something like this?

Yes, or depending on how much needs to be replaced you could consider the kit I bought that comes with both front and rear.

White Lithium Grease works well on the bushings.
One difference I see in what you posted vs what I posted, is the spring kit listed is the 8504 and the one I listed was 8505 which I believe makes the car 1" lower in the front while keeping the rear at stock height. Big difference?
