RE: money to spend on suspension,need advice
From what I have learned from these posts the answer is it depends.
If you are not lowering the car at the same time then it is easy because you would probably used non adjustable LCAs and an adjustable UCA and set it to the same length as the stock one.
For reference you might want to check out;

You can probably find installation instructions from other suppliers on thier web sites

if it's lowered, you have to have adjustable LCA or UCA to correct the pinion angle on the driveshaft. the adj. PHB corrects the side to side shift of the axle, but it doesn't correct the front/back rotation of the axle due to the driveshaft.

From what I have read after going through a lot of posts the predominant recommendation seems to be to get fixed LCAs and an adjustable UCA.
There is a post somewhere that shows you how to set up the pinion angle after installing everything but I can't find it right now. Here is a useful link https://mustangforums.com/m_3061754/tm.htm
PS - my plan is to get the Panhard, LCA and UCA with one poly end and one rod end.

How would we know what you need without telling us your problem or issue.
If you would like new bolts then go to the parts counter at Ford and tell them you only need the bolts.

Simon1 My problem and issue is I don't want to pay 128 bucks for a Lca nuts and bolt kit and
come to find out all I needed was four bolts from that parts counter at ford that where 20 bucks. When they're the one
that told me I needed the kit in the first place.Also is this the type of smart_ _ _ answers you have to put up with to
put a post on here. I hope not senseIam newto the site and this first impression sucks
