I'm looking to upgrade to Tokico & Eibach or Intrax (Does all these have lifetime warranties)....
Just wondering if there are additional things/parts that I should get to complete this uprade. Do I need to get new strut mounts and/or wheel bearings as well (If I do... where can I get them cheapest)

Tokico has a life time and Eibach have 10 years of warranty. I am not sure about the intrax though. Well it sounds like you want your stuff to last. If so you should get new mounts all around and new strut bearings for the front. As far as the shopping goes I can't help you find them cheap because I live in Canada.

Sorry for the newb ?'s... but no strut bearings for the rear? How much should I expect to pay for the all the mounts (4?) & bearings (4?). I am assuming that these don't come along with the the struts themselves. Can I just get these my local dealerships or can also be bought at parts stores?

There are no strut bearings in the rear. Only the front wheels turn the struts. Most auto parts stores will be able to get you the part you need. But better yet check out our sho vendors. They don't mess around and will get you the right parts the first time.

Is there a brand I should stick with or just get the cheapest

Try a search of the forum and see if you can decide then. I can't really comment on whats good and whats not good. I just got what people were saying were the best. The ford police busings, that are discontinued now.

you can get a good set of police issue monroe mounts now. But keep in mind that police issue will raise the car 3/4". I went with regular ford mounts and bearings.

I bought all Ford parts, but if I was to do it again, I would buy the monroe. They should hold up long enough for the struts....

now, if I would only get off my lazy a$$ and put it all on the car...
