Lets us know how you like the shocks, I've been looking at them for a while now.
Trying to save for some power adders now though.

Good choice

Good Call,

Suspension is the Mustangs weak point.

Since you're going to Steeda install the G-trac brace at the same time as the control arm relocation kit.
It mounts to the same mounting points and you won't need to track down longer bolts later. It's only $59.95

I went with Steeda for all my suspension needs. The swaybars would be a good next step. The Eibachs are much less expensive than my Steeda's. They're probably a better value.
Steeda has made the billet swaybar mounts an option to get another $89.00 out of your pocket :angry:

You will also benefit from aditional bracing such as a strut tower brace, G-trac brace, and rear shock tower brace.


Then you go with the power adders.

1) Tuner
2)CAI
3)UD Pulleys
4)Headers and Centerpipe
