What do I need for pre-assembled front struts and lowering springs?

Hi, I have a 2010 mustang GT. I need to know what parts I need to buy so I can install the front springs and struts as a whole assembly without the need of dis-assembling the stock stuff. So far the parts I know I'll need are:

1) Eibach pro-kit springs
2) Koni STR-T shocks and struts
3) GT500 strut mounts
4) adjustable pan hard bar

Am I missing anything? Also, for those who have the eibach pro-kit springs, did they come with new front dust boots and bump stops? If they didn't, I would have to buy those separately too.

You don't need a Adj. panhard to install spring/strut. Otherwise it sounds like you have all you need. Assuming you have a spring compressor to put your new parts together with and the GT500 strut mounts you got have the strut tower nut as well.

Thanks Coneboss. Still wondering if the eibach springs comes with new dust boots and bump stops for the front. I know the dust boots can not be ordered as a separate part from ford. I would still need the lower spring sleeves. And from what I've read and heard, I won't need a spring compressor to install the eibach springs onto the new struts as they are short enough for the gt500 strut mounts to fit over.

Anybody that has installed the eibach pro-kit springs care to chime in on if it comes with new dust boots and bump stops for the front?

Glad to help.

The dust boot typically will come with the shocks/struts. Really those are a "nice to have" but not required part. If you plan to put these on and never look at them again until they fail...then I would get a dust boot on there as they will help extend life of the shock
