Get your cross drilled/slotted rotors from http://www.r1concepts.com/,
as for your shocks, you can just get regular Monroe Sensatracks for a 97 T-bird but if you want something more sporty/aggressive get 03 Cobra coupe bilstein shocks from Max at Five Star Ford, they are pretty firm though.
 
Merry Christmas!

I got a set of the new metal shock mounts off of ebay for $30.00 bucks or so & then picked up some t bird shocks at autozone. I allready looked up the part numbers & everything so I could get the right parts, Auto will hire anyone & yes I know... They suck! A bunch of people reuse the factory mount & burn off the old rubber, I preffer the new mounts though. Looks a little bit better to me.

Good thing you caught those tires in time :eek:
 
Happy Holidays Goddess!!!

Nice tires and wheels, happy to hear that they saw the problem before the old ones blew out!! I drove with a vibration and finall got annoyed enough to have it checked out and the rear tire had a huge bubble!! All of those tires were off the carbefore I left the shop!!
Those shock mounts are really inexpensive (not cheap!!) P/N F3LY-18197-A listing at $35.77 and your cost of $25.00 each!! The M-18125-R00 shock set that 98LSC refers to are $159.95 and cost you $115.00 and has the cobra mount rubbers so you still need the mounts...and they are a very rough (firm) ride. We do not have any slotted rotors for that car....sorry.

Happy Holidays to ALL!!!
