those solid rack bushings are killer-dog... .I love 'em. but the prothyne ones should last you a good long time (10+ years)

Checked the whole kit and I would still have to buy the strut bar bushings and its better if I purchase everything separtely like I posted. I mean better as in better price. Also checked already americanmuscle and latemodelresto last night, they don't have everything I need and I prefer to buy all the stuff from one place. Without the shipping to Bolivia, do you think the cost for all of the suspension parts is ok?

^LOL ok Ill go ahead and get these stuff when I get a little more dinero, I think I can get a better price for the shipping through another source.

What brand of shocks & struts should I use, this is mostly a street car/weekend warrior

Well, i'm running bilstein and really like them but mine is more of a hardcore DD track car. If you just want a decent ride etc i'd probably jump on the Tokico's or something along that line. Bilsteins are a bit pricey, granted, worth it IMO.

I agree to an extent, if you plan on serious low and serious stiff springs, anything more then 1 inch and/or 650lbs DO NOT I REPEAT DO NOT get the tokico blues. I have blown one rear shock already with h&r super sports

I am planning to lower an inch & half so you say to get away from the tokico blues... bilstein to expensive, what other brands? Im asking this cause down here I have bought whatever I could find cause its really hard to get shocks for a mustang, but I am planning to bring me some shocks from the U.S.

Used Bilstein or Koni SA (single adjustable). I went with the SAs due to budget, but absolutely loved my Bilstein HDs. For the fronts, rears I still have Bilsteins.

Yea. You can mix. Idealy you go with a single manufacturer spring and a single for shocks. Something that is tested together and is proven.
