Ok guys. i was looking through midwest sho, and found their full motorcraft sus. kit. i am going to replace all of my suspension parts. and add some performance ones also. i have a few questions about this. 1)Will the motorcarft struts be able to handle cut CC, with 1.5 coils cut? 2)Does this seem like a good deal, meaning, it coming complete with all bushings and mounts? 3) For the performance, i was going to add, ALSFB's, SFC, Rear strut tower brace, 26mm rear sway bar, and a h-brace. Will this give me a fairly good performance suspension, with stock struts, but with all of the listed above? and finally were should i get all of the performance sus. stuff from? Thanksin advance, i know its alot, but hey, gotta do it though! thanks again!! :thumb:

OK, with your cut cargos, Tokico or Koni would be the way to go. IMO ALSFBs are only needed for a track car, I had them and heavy duty motor mounts, the whole car vibrated like my girls favorite toy. :D I replaced them with new stock ones, now I just use the HD motor mounts and a torque strap. The H-brace is also not needed unless you get better control arms.
Get the STBs, SFCs, 24/26 swaybars too, and make sure you use all poly bushings, that'll make ya happy :thumb:
Check out my sig.

You should get somehting better then motorcraft struts if you are going to be cutting springs. I would have gotten Konis and Intax springs which is whatI have and mine handles nicely with what I have.

Why are you asking that in a suspension kit thread? Also why not just check out midwestsho.com for prices as it is on their website. Also, I would think that it would work because the tweecer has been used on many different ford models that I've seen.

I will disagree with that. The "torque box" is just flimsy sheetmetal. I would install an H-brace even if the rest of the car were stock. In fact I ran one long before I got my TCE control arms, or saw any track time.
