So after sitting for few years the svt is up and running. Shes a rusty turd that runs great but the suspension is shot. Im ordering everything (mostly) from rockauto and have a few questions.
Parts list will follow in comments. All all these parts right for the svt? Is there any other bushing any thing like that, that should be done while im at it. Should i change any of these for a different part in their catalog. Thx alot guys

Don't forget your end-links (front and rear) and sway bar bushings (front and rear). Might want to go with poly on the later, as the cost difference is minimal (Energy Suspension or BAT).
 
Right on! You have made some good choices, IMHO, when it comes to maximizing the "bang for the buck". The KYB's are very decent OEM replacement struts. I have been using them for over 40 yrs in many different rides. Never have been disappointed.
 
Yup getting started on it all tomorrow, got it on the jacks now and spaying everything with pb blaster for prep, thx again for the input.
