$100!  Yeah, alias can thank BMR if that's what you were gonna charge him. I'd see MAYBE $50 + shipping, but even then the rear struts are probably 85% through their life if not more.

Really a ?
Just trying to be fair here. Looking in the 4sale section of this site I noticed that lots of used struts/springs were 4sale, none were listed as give-away.
And the only set that was priced was $115.00 w/80,000 miles on them from the snow belt, iirc.
But that's all now irrelevant at this point.

I understand trying to be fair and also getting some compensation for your time in packaging and shipping the stuff. But really the stock stuff is NEAR worthless. Personally I wouldn't replace stock stuff with stock stuff, especially used. I know of junkyards that will sell all of it for less than $100 (though you'd probably have to pull it yourself), and we're an enthusiast group and should try to help each other. Just my opinion. If somebody wants to sell something for a somewhat high price and someone wants to pay that price, then that's up to ya'll.

I put the Monroe Sensa-Trac's on my Mustang and was really surprised. They ride kinda nice. I have progressive rate springs, progressive rate shocks ( or so Monroe claims ) and when you are going over little bumps, its really smooth. Much softer than a stock Mustangs suspension. Throw it into a corner and ther is ZERO body roll. Its like there are sticks in ther instead of shocks. Turn in is greatly improved.

Good morning, Kremit
Like I said, it's now irrelevant.
No PMs = obviously nobody wants them
And I stated that they're no longer 4sale

I did a search for those "Stazi endlinks" and came up empty.
Can you steer me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Alias,
What is your exact budget? That would help out a lot. Looking to get everything done for $XXX.XX would work. Your best bet would be to save up a little coin, maybe ask for money for X-Mas and/or Birthday, and get some new stuff. I'll be honest, I sold my stock SVT suspension with 50 some-odd thousand miles to Chris(tour96se) thinking that he'd be able to run the suspension for a while with no ill effects. The suspension was in perfect shape when I pulled it from the car, and it was obviously in good shape when he received it. He installs the kit, and not more than a week later one of the front springs broke! Just a headsup though, as I understand you're young and as broke as a dime wh0re on nickel night. Good luck!

Stazi sold some heim joint endlinks he put together himself, which you can put together yourself as well if you buy the parts. I'm not sure if he still does it, but you can PM him and ask, or atleast ask what is needed to make them. I have a set on my car.
