search function my friend, the only thing worth it imo is the sways. the shocks/springs wont do much for you. better off going straight to aftermarket shocks/springs

Check out KONIs. They have new Str't shocks & struts with 25% off for a short time. I've seen them for about $350.00 on line. Go to tirerack.com These sound like a great deal! And 25% off!

Hey man, before you buy that stuff from NTO, I have a connection and I am pretty sure that I can get the stuff that you want directly from NTO for less then what they are charging you. email me at abragg112@aol.com or PM with what you want and I will get you a better price.

Look around the classifieds here and various other places. There are plenty of members with perfectly good parts who will make a good deal with you. You'll help out fellow stangers and save dough at the same time.

Now, as far as springs/shocks/struts, don't bother getting GT take-offs. You already have the same springs as a GT in the back, and slightly softer springs up front.
Unless you need different springs/shocks for racing or lowering, don't bother.

Now sway bars, that's different. If you don't have a rear one, get one! As I said, people sell them; find one used and save some coin. Using a larger GT one for up front is a decent option as well, but you'll notice more of an improvement when you add a rear one.
