I know there is at least one or more down in south jersey that are quite reputable. But I don't know their names. Can anyone recommend any mustang shops? I primarily need them to install a new suspension in my car, shocks/struts and springs. Thanks in advance.

 

most places can do this work. Call some local place and check on prices. If your dropping with those new springs you might want to go to a place that has a alignment machine. If your dropping it more than an inch get some camber bolts before you go.

 

I live in south jersey n I went across the bridge ten minutes to evolution performance in pa.

 

Thanks, I'm not planning on going lower than an inch though.

Thanks, I'll have to check their location. I thought they were in western PA. The shops I was referring to are near the shore more specifically.

Ask for Jim III (aka Jim Jr)

 

Thanks, I'll check them out too.

 

Did you ever find a place to do your suspension install? Right now Evolution Perfomance is the front runner, but options never hurt anyone.

 

Well, I gave jdm engineering a call and got a price from them. They seem pretty reasonable and aren't too far from me.

 

I see yours is SG too. Perhaps we need to get a little get together going.

 

If you don't mind me asking, how much did they quote you? I'm looking at shocks and struts, springs, an adjustable panhard bar and of course an alignment after everything is installed.

I see very few '11s on the road. A get together would be cool.

 

Where abouts are you in south jersey there's a great place on the blackhorse pike in williamstown alot of my friends have gone there. I it's local for you I'll get info I haven't been there yet myself but when I need a repair I'll de be going there

 

It is local. I was actually just down that way on Saturday to get my car tinted. Any info you could provide would be appreciated.

 

They quoted me $400-$450. Only thing is it wouldn't be with an alignment, they told me I'd have to go elsewhere for that.

 

seems high to me. With the right tools this job can be done in under two hours + alignment time.

 

You mean doing it yourself or myself rather? I was thinking of attempting it but am scared to mess something up or do it wrong. Especially with the suspension I don't want to mess up. I am pretty handy however and can do most mods myself, I just always shied away from suspension work.

 

What shop is that?

J, the rears are easy, but the fronts are more of a PITA. Tacobill has a writeup, let me see if I can find it.

I was lazy and didn't want to deal with losing any of the little ball bearing doo-dads, so we took both sides off the car, took them to a shop and had them do it. Took about an hour.

 

don't be afraid The springs come with instructions and is really a straight forward job. The first time it took me about 3 hours but I have gotten good at it in a short time. I rented the free spring compressor from autozone. Acutally you buy it use it and then return it. its their free loaner program.
Remove the front tires remove 2 lower bolts remove the 4 nuts at the top of the strut, remove the brake line from the strut =one small bolt, and one other par clip.

The rear they say to remove the lower shock bolt, remove the bolt that holds the brake line to the frame, remove the 4 bolts that hold the sway bar on by the lower shock bolt. Then lower the rear axle untill you can wiggle the springs out of there. You don't really have to remove the rear tires to get it done.

 

The ball bearings will not fall out unless the mount needs to be replaced. I haven't seen alot of those things but the ones I have seen did not lose any bearings.
