1.) My car was a 4banger that converted to a 5.0...im replacing the old spindles with ones from a stock 5.0. Will these bolt right on? and will steeda ball joints bolt up.

2.) i woudl like to upgrade the front sway bar....will any fit due to the fact this car was a 4 cyl?

3.) what exactly do caster camber plates do and are they easy to bolt on? do i need them for just minor front end improvment?

4.) im so stoked we have our own little sand box now to play in

cc plates are a much higher priority than a sway bar. The only stock parts left on my front suspension are the sway bar and steering rack.

Springs are a good mod to consider.

Here's my front suspension:

Yes. It handles fu#@ing AWESOME!

I suggest calling Maximum Motorsports tech. They really hlped me a lot. My suspension upgrade came in several stages. They helped me pick parts with the best bang for the buck first, while keeping in mind where I wanted to end up. The only upgrade that I bought from them that's no longer on the car was the Eibach springs (deleted when I converted to coil-over).

Good luck
