Parts. Any help would be much appreciated thanks keith
Keith,

Sometimes you are better off creating a new thread instead of digging up an old one. As for the Koni upgrades, if you call Factory Five, tell them your front end configuration (IE: stock Mustang lower control arms, tubular upper, whether you have a slotted upper control arm mount or two separate sets of drilled mounting points, etc), they can sell you the proper front Koni shocks. In addition, you might want to look into their 3 link retro fit kit for the rear, as it transforms the handling of the car from anything they offered at the time your car was built (unless someone has already custom installed an IRS).
