[attachmentid=25307]Installed these last night. Only took maybe 45 minutes. More time getting to the shocks than actually changing them out. The track is closed tonight due to weather, so I'll post feedback next week on them. I talked with Justin (JPC) today. QA1 is working on a front strut and should have them very soon-atleast that's what he said to me.

From where & how much? Street or Strip or street & strip. I have been looking for a good quality rear shock for street use.

Single adjustable. I didn't see the need for the double adjustable in the rear, especially for almost twice the price. I bought them from BMR. http://bmrfabrication.com/2005Mustang.htm

$149.95 to answer your questions.

The shocks came with everything to mount them right up. What would you use washer's for? There is a washer that backs the rubber bumper where the upper portion goes into the body and the same on the inside of the trunk. As far as the bottom, there is two collars that slip on the outside of the insert that the bolt runs through.

when they first came out the bottem of the shocks needed washers or a spacer somebody said on this forum i was waiting for the fix qa1 said they did not have a kit out so bmr was making them.

The kit I installed mounted right up w/o any problems. Spent more time getting it on jack stands than anything else. I did have to put a socket on the threaded portion on the top of the stock shock to keep it from spinning while I removed the nut. Other than that, it fit right in. It did come with 2 shorter sleeves in the box. The sleeve that was on the bottom had 2 larger sleeves on the outside. It looks as if BMR made these, put them on and it comes with a zip tie holding the sleeves on. Very simple mod.
