[QUOTE="REX-RACER, post: 11222613, member: 14222"] You can't o WRONG w/ either! Seriously! Both manufactures/kits work well and are good quality. I actually have a mix-n-match on my car. From MM I have: FL-SFCs Poly IRS bushings Poly diff bushings Poly Spring isos Front sway-bar end-links ( Eibach sway bar ) From FTBR I have: Rear adjustable sway-bar end-links Rear toe links I also have H&R Race springs. The reason I ended up w/ this arrangement is b/c I've added pieces over time and many of the MM pieces were added first when I bought them off of other members here and on a local board but they were all "nib". I ended up having to replace the rear sway-bar end-links when I added the EIbach sway bar kit, and I had to replace the rear toe links when the stripped the crown nut of the stock piece and FTBR was the ONLY replacement I could find. All of it is good quality stuff and both suppliers stand by their parts. The owner of FTBR, Bruce is a regular member on this site and you'll see him around all of the time in threads like this one as the SN ac427cobra : [url]http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/2012-boss-302-mustang-373/757330-boss302s.html[/url] Bruce builds hard core race parts b/c he's a dedicated track junkie.
