My understanding is the A's are the old style and are prone to failure. The B's were the first upgrade, which I used on my car, and were more durable and stiffer than the A's. The C's are supposed to be stiffer versions used on GT500's and Trac Pac Mustangs. So, yes the C's are the latest and greatest.

Steeda offers the Steeda Pro-Action Shocks & Struts-05-10

http://www.steeda.com/store/ford-rac...d-mustang.html

They make some high quality struts with a lifetime warranty! If your heart is set on the Ford Racing struts, then they have those as well. They have a nice informative video on the website talking about there quality and performance.

My buddy has the Steeda Shock and Struts on his 09, so I can't talk first hand about them, but he has bragged about the handling and exceptional ride quality. Good Luck!!

I think he's asking about the upper strut mounts and not the struts themselves. However Steeda does make a heavy duty strut mount , I got a pair shortly after getting my car to get rid of the popping sound. They also give you a degree of camber adjustment , they cost more than the ford ones but are better quality ...

yeah I was talking about the strut mounts I have koni shocks and struts and i'm happy with them. I just changed my rear bumps stops to the ford racing ones BIG difference in ride quality. I figure when I changed the front ones I might swap the strut mounts.
