Thanks Rich

So I would have to find springs and stuff off of an SSP? Could an 85 5.0 coupe be the same?

Sam, the springs/shocks/struts for a 5.0L GT or LX hardtop are what you'll need. The spring rates for a convertible MAY be different.

or go to fox restoration and buy brand new springs, that way you have no wear on the springs or have to be concerned on the integrity of the springs i would also change out the ball joints since they are over 20 years old and it will save you a fender

More I'm thinking, I think I will wait on the suspentsion until I have all the new stuff together. Otherwise if I get it all apart, it may be a while before I can get new parts so the car would just sit. I don't want that to happen while other stuff can be done.

Could some of the 85s have had a dual gun rack? If I can't find out where my car served, I think it would be cool to put in a dual rack (if they came in a mustang in 85). I would be making one from scratch( using my some of my dads aero chp racks as a template. Then I would need measure ments for the rack to dash mount)

No rifles were issued until 1989 so unless your car was still in service by then and been retrofitted (unlikely), it wouldn't have had a dual gun rack.
