    Should I rebiuld my entire front end or wait for the rest to need it?

    I bought my '97 with springs, not sure if the front end was redone also, but now sounds like a box of rox on bumps. Tires dont last long either.

    Replacing stock speakers

    Did find some posts from '09 that recommend using 6-1/4 (or 6-1/2) round speakers instead of the 6x9 for improved performance. I'm looking more for good sound separation, with some sub-bass, but not a 1000+ watt system. My carpet is out to prepare for sound deadening, panels still in, want to...

    Replacing stock speakers

    Want to get new speakers to replace stock JBL's and fit behind stock grilles. Plan to change the head unit at a later date. Want to avoid adding sub box. Need some search suggestions to get me on the right track. Thanks.

    Is an x-pipe essential?

    When I got my 97 it had the coil conversion and by the looks of the exhaust system it rode on bad air suspension for a long time. Had a cat-back install done (with 3rd cat delete) to fix the beat up, leaky exhaust. System no longer leaks, but still sounds like crap cause no crossover was...

    4-Wheel coil conversion, front too soft; Spring rubbers?

    Good info! I bought my Gen2 LSC with a Strutmasters kit installed, and it has rode like a boat from day one. I installed some Sensatrac shocks in back which did nothing to improve ride. So what's a good link or search for the Addco install? And if there's a vendor here for the struts &...

    Rear alignment

    Has anyone had issues with rear alignment after replacing knuckle or UCA bushings? Not there yet, but looks like it could be a problem. Can any tire & wheel shop do it, or is it best done by stealership?

    Hub swap progress

    One piece at a time, I guess. I got the knuckle bushings, then found the passenger side inner UCA bushing shot, just ordered 2 today. If any of you have a good source for the correct PBR Cobra caliper banjo bolts , please reply. Also searching for the right brake hoses, front and back.

    Which coil conversion is best?

    coil conversion Overall, this thread has been very helpful. I bought my Mark already converted, and it seems my suspension's missing a lot of missing stuff, like perches and isolators, which explains why it rides and corners like crap! I'm still doing the hub/brake mod, and went to Ford...

    X-Pipe

    Prior owner had bad air ride for a long time, cause the exhaust was beat to crap. So I had it redone from cats back, with 3rd cat deleted and new mufflers. Sounds like crap, and I'm reading that adding an x-pipe will fix that, plus help performance. Aftermarket x-pipes look more restrictive...
