where did you get the foxbody struts??
Just go to any autoparts store and ask for stock 93 GT Foxbody shocks. Get Monroe Sensitracks.

why fox struts?

you have an idea on price?
and can someone explain caster camber plates?

just go to autozones website or advanceautoparts website...and caster camber plates let your car be able to have the right caster and camber like they should...if you drop your car around 1.5-2" you will usually need them. without them, you wheels will bow in like this / \ , and you will have uneven tire wear and you will be buying tires alot more. at least that is what i have heard.

So what's the price range for installation when looking at springs, shocks, and upper/lower control arms or is it something a mechanically inclined person can do themselves??

that depends ALOT on where you shop and what brand name you want? i'm sure someone can point you in the most "bang for your buck"" direction.

My buddy and I installed everything in his garage....he has air tools. Its a long project, but definitely something you can do yourself.

It always feels better doing it yourself anyway :)
