    My question also...
    So how about a list of the parts with a discription and where to order. The cost posted on the list would be great.
    I keep seeing some rear leafs on ebay from a mustang place that sound good but seem pricy, just not sure.

    If your shackle bushings are in good shape, you can reuse them. If you catch JCW when they have the free shipping offer, the springs only cost $135 total.

    Great price! What if I wanted to replace the shackle bushings? :huh:

    Fiberglass suspension? I've never seen any of that in action. :hmmm:


    Then add the shackle and bushing kit to the order. I think they're about $12 each. It includes new shackles.
