Your videos are always perfect. Great angles, so you can see exactly what's being done; and great instructions ( even telling us the nut sizes which is my favorite thing lol ).

Thank you super helpful. Me and my dad are working on a 1987 mustang 5.0 fox body and we struggled until we found your video

Perfect! I only wish I had a lift! Did many jobs on the ground in the dirt.

They make it look so easy in the video. Yea....getting the bottom bolt off of the front strut on a 25 year old Fox....I have PB blastered the hell out of it and used a Torque gun. Still not budging. Then when I thought I need the car and cannot complete the project right now, I broke a brake caliper bolt. FML lol.

I was very skeptical about these struts/shocks since everyone online (including me) swears up and down that unless it's Koni, Bilstein, or Tokico then it's junk. I actually had Tokico Illumina 5-ways on the car and have had them for a little over 15 years. I never liked the Tokicos. I figured for the money these would be worth a try. Here's the honest truth. I've owned my '88 GT since brand new and have had many other foxes. This kit is exactly what it's made for, stock replacement. This was what I was looking for. They don't make the car feel unstable on the freeway and they are adequate on a curvy road. A huge factor for me since I'm older now is I was tired of a bone-jarring ride. These are NOT harsh. They don't make the car ride like a Lincoln but they are good for me. As long as they last and don't start leaking I'll say I'm very happy with them. The single best thing I've done to help ride quality for me was MM full length subs from LMR....the seat supports are awesome. I could not believe how many rattles they eliminated.

Im literally about to buy these as a kit.

would it not make sense to give torque specs, in stead of just tighten them?

I’ve tried all of these methods but one factor that doesn’t make it possible to remove the bolt is the strut shaft spinning in the cylinder, and there’s no where to grab onto the shaft to keep it still. Would this mean I have to resort to a nut splitter?

Ok so between these and the Koni oranges, what’s the difference? Are they both about the same in ride quality and handling?
Thank you for the info. Trying to decide on what I want for my ‘93 LX 5.0

If using SVE caster camber plates, do I keep all the bumstops the same way you just installed them?

angelmoreno

Do you guys use any grease on the upper strut poly bushings? Cant find a solid answer anywhere but feels wrong putting them in dry.

GearHead

You guys don’t give any torque specs On any bolts . At the very end it shows him torquing the bolts back on the wheels but no torque specs .
