Wow, that's a loaded question! How many miles you got on the car? You might want to replace the front strut mount bearings at a minimum. Getting new strut mounts at all four corners would really jack the price through the roof.

I just today ordered Eibachs, Tokicos, and a couple days ago: New Ford police strut mounts and bearings front and rear. Plus I was already in for so much already I figured what the hey and ordered new fasteners too. Oh and new strut bumper/bellow.

Add that to my full supply of TPR bushings, new moog greaseable tie rod ends, front and rear sway bar end links, and new front greaseable control arm/ball joint and I could buy a whole new SHO or two. But of course they would have worn parts that would need replacing and I can only drive one car at any given time.

Hehe, it's going to be the summer of George I tell you!! The summer of George!!! laughing

my cars a 94 with 91000 miles. do i need to get anything else when doing the springs and struts?

It's your call of the strut mounts. Since you're cheaping out by going with the KYBs anyways why not hold off on strut mounts until that later date when you can get some Tokicos? You might want to get new fasteners, pinch bolts and such given where you live.

my sho is a new england sho, would you recommend the fasteners and how much do they cost?
