If I were you (as you described your driving above) I'd:

1) Not go anywhere near a Ford Dealer for any work unless you want to get boofed on cost.
2) Order SVT struts from Bill Jenkins, our discount OEM source ($67 per strut).

3) I'd read the "How-to" on changing the struts.
4) I'd get spring compressors from Auto Zone.
5) I'd beg/barrow/steal 1/2" drive tools for the job.
6) I'd spray everything down the night before with PB Blaster
7) I'd plan on taking the weekend, and saving the $$$ from not getting boofed and doing the job yourself. Its not that hard at all.
8) With some of that $$$ you are saving, you should look at getting front sway bar links, rear end links, new front strut bearings, and perhaps new lower control arms that have new ball joints and bushing. All that would still be under $350, and your car would be close to factory fresh.
9) Take remainder and get Bridgestone S-03s
10) Be happy....




Still ignoring me? An apology would be nice!!
