2 inch springs can be had for 50-75 bucks and relocate you O.E. Hangers in the rear by 1.25 inches and use the 2 inch shackles you already have..done. The rivets on your rear hangers can be ground off. drill new holes in hanger 1.25 lower and bolt back on with .5 hardware. Can all be done in a day. You will need a camber kit too...40-50 bucks on ebay.
Which ball joints are hosed up? upper or lower?

When you say relocate you mean flip the hangers i've heard by flipping them you can achieve some drop. And the upper ones are pretty much **** mostly on the left side right side the boot is gone. Pretty much when I got a new set of tire for my wheels firestone threw all this b.s that I needed upper and lower control arms with new balljoints quoted around 1200. I was like maybe later

I think duals with an X or H pipe sound better, but obviously that's highly subjective. Supposed to be better for the motor too, but people have been running TRUE duals since the beginning of time.

And because it was Firestone that looked at your suspension, I'd get a second opinion. Go to a Ford dealer and have them take a look, for free. Places like Firestone, NTB, etc. are literally told to "sell, sell, sell" and make crap up. Their employees even get in trouble of they aren't selling enough, whether customers need work or not.

No. I don't like the "new" styling.

Funny, I really like it...understandable though. I still love the New Edge's. Still have to say yours is one of the cleanest I've seen of the SN95's. I've only ever seen 1 or 2 in person from that generation that look that nice.

I honestly don't think it would do much of anything for performance. Even my long tube headers barely did anything, so I just don't think exhaust work does much.

Finally after 3.5 years in storage after living overseas, I got it cleaned up. Installed Mark LT handles and ordered a Roush Intake, Roush off road side exit exhaust, leather seats, 2'' drop shackles and 2'' drop springs/shocks for the front. Still waiting on the exhaust to come in. Going to remove the running boards too. I'll post pictures when it's done.

Slow progress.
