Fronts = DEFINETLY worth every it. Million positives, cant think of any negatives.

Rears = Havnt done them yet, but judging buy reviews I cant wait

I agree having them done is the best, I've done the fronts and used SP and the difference is amazing.. Replaced the diff bush with an OEM one and the car felt new again. But for what it is, its an expensive exercise, not all of us can 'do it ourselves'

And I was referring to the diff bush, when saying it'll have to be replaced sometime in the future..

im a massive fan of the super pro, I had the rears done and the car is amazing, slides beautifly :) haha

much tighter and works very well with the new springs and shocks too!!

( I have a spare set of super pros if any one needs em ) PM me

Full set or just 3 diff ones?

Good question OP, was thinking the same thing. $1000 in labour probably wouldn't be too far off.

I'd be more keen to know the difference between just diff and the whole lot. Putting the whole lot in with stock suspension seems a bit pointless to me too?

I got the whole car done, I'd have to find the receipts to tell you the total price. lets say it was a whole lot of money but worth every cent

Ok I will spill the beans...

My bill was around $3500. I had just about everything done, full super pro bushes, camber kits front and rear, bilstien shockers, etc, etc

Do I regret it? no not at all. im glad to now have the car driving how it should have come from ford. Ford should be ashamed of themselves for putting such serious cost cutting in front of producing a good car. And I still beleive that there should have been a recall on those control arm bushes that fall to bits by the first 50k

That"s a pretty good price considering what you had done. If it was done as seperate jobs you most likely would have paid more. Bilsteins fitted$1100, camber kits fitted $800, diff bushes fitted $800, add some springs and all the other bushes and labour my guess is easily over $3500.

That's good and all, but everyone wants these cars as cheap as possible, and then complain theres cost cutting?? What other family sedan are you going to buy with such a great motor for the same price?

What I mean is that the cost cutting has gotten bad enough to really comprimise on making a decent car, now it seems you buiy a brand new car and have to replace the crap that they have fitted because they have cut costs on parts that dont even last the first few services. You buy a car and within the first year you deal with brake shudder, and the steering wheel vibrating your hands until you fix what ford have done from the factory.

it was one of the main reasons for me spending the money on the suspesion, I was sick of having brake shudder and a shaking steering wheel with a car that had only done 50k
