Default Whats needed??

Ok guys,


Ive been stock piling a bunch of suspension parts to install in the spring, and that time is coming soon, so I need to get the last few pieces.

Here is what i have to install.

Tokico D-Spec
Eibach Pro-Kit
Steeda Strut Mounts
Steeda LCA
Steeda UCA
Panhard Bar
Steeda Bumpsteer Kit
Trailing Arm Relo. Kit
Front Control Arm Relo Kit.

Big list, but its all going in during March, Ive also got some wheels and tires coming.

My question is;

For those pieces, what new bolts and nuts will I need? I know alot of the bolts are one-time use, so what ones will be needed??

Also...any advice to avoid some of the headaches that some people have...I know that you have to have the suspension loaded when torquing the bolts...anything else??

Some body was talking about lube...anything special I should use?

Any imput would be helpful...like i said, its a big list and its all happening soon, should be a huge difference!

Thanks in advance guys,

Shooter

For anything polyurethane, do NOT use a petroleum-based lube.

Your list looks a lot like mine - I also like your color choice.

Here is a thread realted to the one time use fasteners https://mustangforums.com/m_3886399/...tm.htm#4347979

If you are installing Steeda parts check out http://www.steeda.com/directions/

Also look at this thread https://mustangforums.com/m_4638132/tm.htm

If your Trailing Arm Relo. Kit and Front Control Arm Relo Kit. are the Steeda parts then both require welding and details are shown on the above Steeda link.

An alterantive to the Front Control Arm Relo Kit is the Steeda ball joiint kit, 555-8108, which does not require welding.
