    If you can't afford the struts, then I'd say don't get the Ground Control kit.

          the ground control kit doesn't include struts man....you'd have to add the cost of the ZX2 ontop of the Ground Controls.

              By the way, if you don't even want to deal with drilling out your upper spring perch for the larger ZX2 thrust bearing, the ZX2 upper spring perch will fit and it only costs like $9 each.

                    yea but those dont come with struts. I really dont need to change the ride height all that much also, so i think some springs and struts will work perfectly for me.

                      www.oemfordparts.com has the ZX-2 struts for around ~ $170. The total with the bearing should be around $200 - 220 shipped, which is a damn good price!

                      while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

                        Any ford dealer can get you the perches since they are not a Ford Racing part.

                        The struts and bearings are Ford Racing parts.

                        Struts and Bearings from oemfordparts.com = 197.12 + shipping.

                        Upper spring perch from my local ford dealer (You don't need to open up the hole for the bearing on these. Part Number F7CZ-18198-BAA) = 13.24 for both (6.62 each)

                        The upper strut mount (The rubber part with the 4 studs to attach to the chassis) sell for about $42 each, if you want to replace those also.
