    What is everyone doing about the spring Perch bushings and rubber insulator that the coil springs sit on? AutoCrappers wants 315.95 each for them!!

    I've gotten a set from Ford for under $100 each before. The last set I bought was from a suspension store that sells the same stuff as PST, they were $39.95 each.

    buy them from any mustang supply house for the best prices. CJ Ponyparts has the top insulator for $4 a piece and the complete spring saddle for $25 each. This is what I used in mine. 64 to 73 Mustangs are all the same and fit our cars.
