    Handles like a MOFO : )

    The front end is together on the towncar, this includes all new moog components except for the pitman arm, poly bushings on upper and lower control arms, addco sway bar and edelbrock ias shocks. Even without it being aligned yet this fucker is on rails. Rides like a dream but can handle the bumps and turns. If you have been in a newer mercedes its kinda like that except I still have skinny wheels. I need it aligned but their machine is down :cuss: All thats left for my suspension mods is box my rear upper and lower arms and install the poly bushings, add the IAS's and addco and drive the fuckin wheels of her. Just with my front end mods I'm extremely impressed at what this "tank" can do. I would say its on level ground with my moms 2005 avilon or might be better

      To my house the shocks were 159.97 and the swaybar was 158.83. I still have to do the rear. Thats the cool thing, these parts will work on boxes, oh the difference. The vic will get the same treatment. I don't know if the rear swaybars will work on boxes as my setup is different for the rear bar on the towncar and vic. The shocks are all the same tho. I didn't have money for them right now either, my credit card did. Now I can hand ricers their ass in speed AND handling. Oh, and it stops nicer since these shocks keep the front from diving during braking. I would upgrade your control arm bushings first as they will not allow the other components to work properly.

            Energy suspension has a kit that includes both the upper and lower bushings. Box arms are different, and I don't know if the kits fit the box arms or not. I need to measure a box arm off of a car to see if they would work.

                Could you post the specs of those when you get em back duce? Might be able to find ones of similar specs in energy suspension's vast supply.

                  i made drawings for them but he has the drawings. these are for the arms you use to put the 96-97 spindle on a box body. Once i get the bushings and drawings back and make sure they will work i will post the drawing.
