    G-A-T, 67-73 performance front end rebuild kit is fine just specifically order 71-73 also on this kit I would't use the strut rod poly bushings. They are to hard you need a little give in this area. Upper control arms 3 Bolt. 1/4" Spring insulator. The coil spring are fine if you want the car to sit up in the front. I personally would get a 1" lowering spring. I believe most Mavs came with about a 550 rate spring. The 620 will make the car handle a little better, but with the 1" lower JMO. Spring perch I would do the Poly. No Mustang Sway Bar is a direct bolt on. But the 65-66 will work with a little patients. There are several people on this board with them. pretty much this is what I had done a couple years ago, rides nice. Good luck

    Thanks for the reply. I planned on 1" lowering springs and to cut one coil.
    The sway bar mount will be moved to use the mustang bar.
    The 1/4" poly insulators, ok, no poly strut bushings, ok.
    Now who thinks I should keep the power steering or switch to manual?
