I'll let you know when it's happening in January sometime. See if you are feeling up to it.

Uncle Jimbo's corn cob pipe!! Check this build thread out if you've got a day free!

Apparently a '94-'98 30mm front sway bar is a great match for the '03-'04 IRS...

Maybe in February?

Nah, gotta be done and rolling by then. #ready2roar

I tried to take a pic tonight that most clearly showed the RICOCKULOUS amount of wheel gap I'm dealing with prior to installing the springs & dampers:



Mission accomplished.

Speaking of spending money, the last thing to buy to lower the Bananastang are the shocks. After much reading, I'm gonna go for the Bilstein HD's over the Koni Yellows. Goes better with my supa-slammed H&R springs, apparently.

Sweet Christmas! Finally came across someone selling a used set of Bilstein HD's (and dust covers) on my FB Mustang Parts pages. 10K mIles on 'em (allegedly). $350 shipped vs $750ish new.

Let's see if I get sca-rewed!! #paymentsent

As long as they were properly stored, you should be fine! And, I think Bilstein will still rebuild their HDs for $100 ea, so even if they aren't perfect you have options down the road. You should be fine!

Good to know! I think I need *one* more element -- Steeda X-2 ball joints. #takin4eva

[thesameguy]

Oh man, those BJs look like the ones on the Jeep that are a pain to replace. Not looking forward to that job, but you're right, don't take the front end apart without replacing ball joints. You'll just end up back there and regretting you didn't do it all at once! Are bushings part of your update plan?
