It costed me a small fortune ... ... Actually, it wasn't too bad. Here's the breakdown:

- Tokiko D-Spec Adjustable Shocks & Struts - $539.99 (Latemodel Restoration Supply)
- Steeda Billet 4-Bolt Caster Camber Plates - $249.95 (Steeda.com)
- Ford Racing 03/04 Cobra Style Front Lower Control Arms - $319.99 (Latemodel Restoration Supply)
- Steeda Aluminum Rear Upper & Lower Control Arms - $299.95 (Steeda.com)
- Steeda X2 Ball Joint Kit - $129.95 (Steeda.com)
- Steeda Bumpsteer Kit - $159.95 (Steeda.com)
- Eibach Anti-Roll-Kit (Front & Rear Sway Bars) - $289.99 (Latemodel Restoration Supply)
- BBK Strut Tower Brace - $129.99 (Latemodel Restoration Supply)
- BBK Bolt On Subframe Connectors - $109.99 (Latemodel Restoration Supply)

Plus a little here and there for shipping ... roughly $120.00 ($60.00 bucks shipping from each retailer).

So, all said and done it was about $2,400.00. Crafty .... I wish you haden't made me add that up. But the thing is going to ride on rails ... and more importantly feel like a brand new car again.

Thanks Crafty. I really want this car to be something to be proud of when its done. It might not be the fastest V6 out there but it'll definitely be one state of the art machine. Hopefully it works. Lol. To tell you the truth I thought I'd get everything now so I don't have to take apart the suspension multiple times.

Tokico is having problems keeping up to the demand. We are expecting them around June 16. I am sorry for the delay

My thoughts .........

Ohh well .... guess the build will continue after June 16th some time. The only part thats arrived is the chrome strut tower brace. I'll post pics of all the parts when they get here. Am I ever excited!
