Order some bump stops too then. You won't be able to pre assemble unless you have the bump stops.

 

I just installed this morning, but I'm at a full turn from soft in the front, and half a turn in the rear.

Install wasn't bad. Took about 3-4 hours (I was hungover from an all day Irish fest yesterday)

 

My shocks and struts are take-offs from a 2012 GT500. Hopefully my local dealership will have those top bolts. Just to be sure I will buy all the bolts necessary.

I have already purchased the bump stops but I checked the struts and there were bump stops already on them being that they are take-offs. But I have a brand new set as well, front and rear.

 

i just installed theses springs as well saturday evening ,,
.i really like em ,,just enough lowered stance to look right,,i wish i had bought better strut mounts ,,i did em the way it shows in lms how to and it was a mistake ,,**** strut top comes apart ,,that was hardest part, i feel super stupid ,,i know i lost some those tiny bearings ,,,but theres no noises or clunks and it rides great ,, each tire was toed in at top a lil it seems ,,its being aligned tommorow ,,,,can i use the gt500 mounts with the dub springs ,,,i just added 18x9 old school chrome mb motoring wheels ,,it looks great ,,get back with me on strut top info ,,ill buy a set and redo mine ,,the factory ones are pure junk ,,word to wise ,,the lms vid shows dude taking out main strut nut then droping strut ,,lol dont do it ,,drop strut then compress spring ..the factory mounts are junk ,,and they will come apart easily and yopu will spend hours hunting those bearings ,,i hope im not the only one who has went through this ,,i always thought i was a decent wrench man ,,but i couldnt help it

 

I,,,Don't,,,Get,,,it,,,

Is that new grammar!?
YOU WIN, for most punctuation in a run on sentence! haha

GT500 strut mounts are the choice for 05-12 mustangs, both v6 & v8. They are only needed for 2011+ cars if you want to install 05-10 struts, if you install the very few 2011+ struts out there then you do NOT need the GT500 mounts.

What I recommend doing, if you can, is to build your strut assembly (Spring, Strut, mount & bump stop) then install the whole piece into the car. But that requires everything to be done at the same time and for everything to be replaced.

That's what I intend on doing next month using STR.t's, Steeda Ultralite's or Eibach Pro-kit, GT500 mounts & FRPP Bump Stops.

 

ok can i just buy
the gt500 strut mount top and use on the dub springs ,,and i used my factory bumpstop ..i had it aligned today ,,aligner says its perfect ,,but top of tires still "TOE IN" a little. Maybe they all do though

 

Just an fyi the strut mounts are on sale @ CJPonyParts right now for $77. I'm picking up a set for when I get my koni's in a couple weeks.

Oh free shipping too I forgot to mention.

 

I paid $95 from LMR! That's about right!

 

Eibach Pro-Kit (Dub Edition Roush Springs off Ebay)
GT500 Track Pack Shocks and Struts
GT500 strut mounts (with the arrows pointed out).
Eibach Camber Bolts

Alignment was done and they were within spec but the Camber is pretty aggressive. Thinking about adjusting the bolts myself to straighten that out a bit. Sorry the picture isn't better the weather was horrible today. Going to get some better ones after a good wash.

 

summit has em for 95.00 shipped too ,,will they fit my dub spring ,,i dont see why they wouldnt ,,chck out my ride ,,lol and my friends camaro too,,and i know my penmanships awful but its caused by 15 yrs of abbreviatng directions at my work

 

The GT500 strut mounts do fit the springs. I just installed them on mine.

 

DAMMM i knew I was forgetting something from CJPonyparts!!! Strut mounts! Lol.

**btw to maybe help your decision, as well as the strut mounts, the Steeda Springs are also on sale 20% off AND free s/h. Probably never get a deal like that. For my ultralites for 218

 

Thanks for the tip but with Steeda's recent antics I won't be buying any parts by them.

 

Why what happened? The marketing thing?

Hey. They are in business and have pride in their products!

 

any more word on wether installing these with the arrows in help the camber?

 

Not looking forward to installing my setup. In gonna try to install everything off the car first. Just need to get all the "extra" parts I need to be able to do it.

You definitely need a compressor to do that tho right?

 

What is your setup? And why aren't you looking forward to it?

 

I wouldn't say you have to have a compressor. But it will make it easier and faster. The torque wrench and Loc-Tite I would say is the most important tools though. Making sure all those bolts are on as tight as they are supposed to and stay that way is the most important step.

Edit: Oh and not trying to do it by yourself. It definitely needs 2 people.

 

The compressor depends on the drop and it can be done alone, I did it.

 

I needed help with the rear springs. I only had one jack but if I had 2 jacks i could have probably done it alone. The struts up front were very easy.
