I would go ahead and bite the bullet on some Bilsteins.

 

Ordered brakes all the way, struts, and a few filters. I have to say i am less than impressed with advance, spent over 800 bucks and they cant get me a order reciept. Ticks me off.

 

Hopefully you went with Motorcraft on the filters.

 

eeek. They ride rough. Good quality product but I don't miss them. I'm looking highly forward to some Rancho adjustable QuickLift struts and rear shocks.

 

I ordered everything but the control arms/ball joints.

Putting it all on tomorrow on my day off. Im going to go to a local shop that wont try to sell me on BS, they are going to check all the ball joints for me.

One thing i noticed... my front rotors... a few of the studs arent pressed in place. Can i tap them in with a hammer?

 

Always have

 

Okay... I picked up moog uppers with removeable balljoints and some lower ball joints to replace the stockers.

I'm at over a grand in front end parts alone. Whoo hoo.

 

FYI moog lower ball joints K80149 $20.60 at Amazon with free shipping!
