    I got my leaf springs from them. They come with the front bushing but not the rear. Got the rear bushings from Napa

    No problems with the four leaf springs I got from them. Can't speak to their shipping, I picked mine up. I was surprised what a small facility it actually is.

    Purchased their front end kit from ebay and the rear leafs from the website. No problems at all with them.

    I purchased the leaf springs and rear shackle kits from them last fall. Another member on here that lives close to me purchased his leafs from ESPO and the difference between the two is unbeliveable. He paid about $30 more for the ESPOS, but they are a perfect match to the OEM stuff. The ones I got from Laurel Mountain just look like flat-cut bars. The ESPO springs have the nice factory rounded edges and dimples for the pads at the ends.

    When Laurel Mountain sent the shackles, they invoiced me for Maverick shackles, but actually sent Mustang ones. I never bothered trying to return them because I have them shipped to a third party in Maine and then go get them across the border myself. I just sold them locally, and actually was able to reuse my originals--they were perfect.

    Everything else I've gotten through Laurel Mountain was the very best, and their customer service over the phone was very accomodating.

    I have the performance front suspension and steering kit. Top quality parts but I had plenty of issues with them. Sway bar was not powder coated as advertised, and the sway bar bushings were way too big. Centerlink was on back order for 6 MONTHS! And it was very obvious that they were tired of me calling for status updates. Im sorry but if you have my money and i dont have your product, you should call ME and give updates. And once I finally gave up, it took a month to get my money back. Ordered one from AutoKrafters the next day and it was on my doorstep within the week(but very expensive!!!). I do believe in there product but I'm still debating whether or not I will use them on my next build (66 mustang coupe)

    I bought the complete front end kit for my Maverick project including the oversize sway bar and lowered front springs from Laurel Mountain Mustang. Had no complaints. Very courteous, all parts were made in the USA (not inexpensive). I bought my rear four leaf springs from KC Spring CO. Real nice high quality product, great service, price and rapid delivery.

    Well I'm glad to hear all the glowing praise, but my LMM stuff came from Mexico and while the UCA are OK I was disappointed with the lowers... Instead of having the pressed openings for the sway bar bushings, now use a drilled/stamped opening with washers for the bushings to set in... That isn't a major problem but the shoulders on the washers must be cut down or they bottom out on each other causing a rattle instead of setting tightly in the opening... Also required shims to tighten down correctly...

    With a bit of research I found the parts are what Moog is now offering... Needless to say I'll be buying a different brand when I rebuild the front end on my Fairlane...
