    I was getting ready to order this american pony rebuild kit, when I realized I don't know if I need the saddle pads and coil spring spring insulators. Do I need to get that kit that includes these?

    Wasn't sure if it was actually something that would cross over from the mustang, but I'll get the $307.90 kit that contains them, thanks.

    stockhatch: thanks for the heads up, I think I'm going to go with American Pony strictly because it has Midolyne bushings which are almost as soft as rubber, but last almost as long as poly.

    I got my kit & sprinhs from PST but it did not come with the kit. I got some from Energy Suspension. What is a spring perch? I didn't see that on my car.

    Not meaning to 'hi-jack"... But does anyone have a part number and price just for a set of insulators ? Will a set for a 1969/70 Mustang work?

    No prob dude. From what I hear, changing them will get rid of all sorts of squeaks and rattles.
