StangSuspension,
I will soon be upgrading to 19" wheels on my '05 GT. I would like to lower my car to give it a better stance and appearance. While I'm at it, I also want to give the car a complete suspension make-over to improve street and daily driving performance. I am interested in your BMR Level I Package (listed below) as a complete, well-rounded group of suspension modifications for my car.
I will also need to purchase adjustable LCA's since these are practically necessary. Do you carry these? I couldn't find them on your website. I would like the "combo street" ones (poly-bushing end and spherical bearing end). Is your Control Arm Package Level 2 the ones I am looking for? This package comes with an Upper Control Arm mount. Should I also find some UCA's to complete this suspension set-up? And finally, do I need any other suspension components to finish off a complete street set-up for my daily driver? Thanks!
These have a urethane bushing at one end, and a spherical/adjustable end at the other.
We do not have a package with those arms included, but you can just go into the BMR Fabrication section and purchase the components separately. If you use the MustangForums discount code, which is MFORUMS, it will take off 5% and allow you to apply a discount to the indivudual products.
BMR has a bunch of 3rd link arms that will go well with the lowers.... Their adjustable third link with urethane bushings is what I would suggest. It is adjustable, so you can fine tune Pinion Angle... but the urethane bushings will still allow for needed axle movement.
Those parts will really provide a good foundation for your suspension... no other parts are "needed"... like all performance parts... "sky is the limit".

Thanks for the help, I'm not the most suspension savy person. The Upper 3rd Link you mentioned... Is that Part # UTCA019? If so, then I'm looking into purchasing all of the parts listed below. Are the Tokico D-Specs the ones that are remotely adjustable?
Front Swaybar (Part # SB022)
Rear Swaybar (Part # SB023)
Tokico D-spec Struts & Shocks (Part # DSP-12)
Upper Strut Mounts (Part # SM001)
Lowering Springs (Part # SP009)
Adjustable Panhard Rod (Part # PHR006)
Control Arm Relocation Brackets (Part # CAB005)
Camber Bolts (Part # FC001)
Adj Control Arm w/ Rod End & Urethane (Part # TCA021)
Upper 3rd Link (Part # UTCA019)
I heard that it is not a good idea to install an aftermarket front swaybar because it increases oversteer. Some Mustang owners actually installed a front sway bar delete kit and dropped a lot of weight up front. Would you recommend the front sway bar upgrade? If not, is there a way for me to not purchase it and subtract its price from the total Level I Package price?
Yes, UTCA019 was the exact 3rd link I was referring to.
The Tokico's are adjustable at the top of the struts. In the rear it is slightly more difficult since the rear shocks are covered by the trunk lining. We sell the Tokico Remote adjusters to fix this problem. Click on this link http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=1185
The remote adjusters are just extensions from the normal adjustment tool. It allows you to stick them through the trunk lining and adjust the top of the shock.
